At TTS Performance's drag strip, a supercharged Triumph Rocket III (claimed 320hp) went head to head against a Suzuki-based build and an Ariel Atom. RideApart covers the mixed-vehicle acceleration battle featuring two motorcycles and a car.
A drag battle between supercharged machines — for someone who's watched this stuff trackside for years, this is unmissable. The Rocket III's claimed 320hp leaving an Ariel Atom, an actual car, in the dust is already hilarious on its own. It all comes down to weight, power-to-weight ratio, and how hard you launch off the line. And the image of some guy climbing into an Atom in full leathers is priceless. What I like is that the answer comes from the strip, not a spec sheet.

The Rocket 3 already feels plenty powerful stock, how much does adding a supercharger actually change it?
Stock is already close to 180 horsepower, so 320 is nearly double that, off the charts territory.
Bugs me that the article doesn't give the actual 0-400m time or results.
The Ariel Atom is incredibly light, so in a straight-line acceleration battle it's going to be a serious opponent.
TTS Performance's projects like this are always over the top, never gets old watching them.
A cross-category drag race sounds fun, but I feel like the bike ends up at a disadvantage against a car just because of the weight difference.
A claimed 320 horsepower on a Rocket 3, that's a number that's basically beyond what a motorcycle should be.
Great to watch, but pulling these numbers on public roads would just be plain dangerous.
