WHOOPING ""2294 CC"" ENGINE IN A MOTORCYCLE ~TRIUMPH BEAST
Triumph Rocket III – 2294cc
While it’s no surprise to see two Honda engines in this list – after all, Honda’s the biggest engine manufacturer in the world – it’s refreshing to see Triumph is the only other manufacturer to feature twice. As well as being the biggest here, the Rocket’s 146bhp inline triple is easily the most powerful. It’s got the most torque, too, at 163lbft, and its three-cylinder design means its only the second engine here to have more than two cylinders. It’s arguably the most ‘interesting’ proposition, too, with its inline layout running longitudinally in the bike (inspired by old Indian four-cylinder machines) and has performance that will render every other bike on the list a tiny dot in the mirrors. A worthy winner, which looks likely to hold its ‘biggest engine’ title for a few years to come
