In 2007, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Rocket III Classic, a machine made more comfortable for both rider and passenger, with rider floorboards, a modified seat, and a pulled-back handlebar.

It also featured differently shaped silencers and came with three new color schemes, including Phantom Black with Sunset Red, Phantom Black with Tornado Red, and Pacific Blue with Elegant White.

Besides that, the bike came in the same shape and form as the previous model, packing standard features, such as two round headlights, a one-piece dual seat, side-mounted rear shocks, and five-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

In the performance department, the 2007 Triumph Rocket III Classic had its soul brought to life by a 2,294cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 140 hp with a peak force at 6,000 rpm and 199 Nm (147 lb-ft) torque at low 2,500 rpm.

The bike's engine was tied to a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch and linked to the rear wheel through a final shaft drive, reaching 219 kph (136 mph).

From top speed to a complete stop, the machine relied on two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front and a 316 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear.

The bike's backbone was a tubular steel twin-spine frame fitted with a 43 mm USD telescopic fork on the front and dual side-mounted adjustable shock absorbers on the rear, providing excellent handling capabilities.
