No matter how much my girlfriend tells me it doesn’t matter how big the thing between my legs is, I just can’t help thinking otherwise, it must be a man thing. And there is obviously someone at Triumph Motorcycles HQ at Hinkley that feels exactly the same, because this, the all-new 2020 Rocket 3 R (yes, that’s ‘3’ with a ‘3’ rather than ‘3’ with a ‘III’ - as per previous Rocket models) has the biggest motor of any production motorcycle, in the entire universe. Its 2,458cc engine makes a whopping 221Nm of torque and a reasonably respectable 165bhp of power so it’s not to be sniffed it; it’s a bit heavy mind, tipping the scales at a mammoth weight of 291kg.
