The Triumph Rocket 3 Storm R and GT are cruising into 2025 with 180 hp on tap.

Riding a motorcycle automatically makes you stand out in a crowd of vehicles. And when you want to set yourself apart from that condensed crowd, no other production machine does it better or bolder than the Triumph Rocket 3.  

?It?s a bucket-list bike,? said Triumph?s senior design engineer, Alistair Fisher, at the launch of the 2025 Rocket 3 Storms, available in R and GT versions.  

It all starts with the gargantuan 3-cylinder engine, which outguns the powerplant in my Honda family car, with 2,458cc to my Accord?s 2,354cc. My car keeps up with traffic quite well, with 177 hp pulling around roughly 3,300 lb.  

For 2025, Triumph?s motor gets a boost to 180 hp, and the bike weighs a relatively paltry 700 lb ? that?s just 3.9 lb/hp to the Accord?s 18.6, which translates into a speed-bending rocket. The Rocket also outpaces the Honda in terms of torque, with 166 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm compared to 161 lb-ft at 4,300. Triumph?s Triple is a beast and unlike anything else on the market. 
A Storm is on the horizon?
