The Ton Up edition comes with an Aegean Blue fuel tank with Jet Black knee pad graphics and hand-painted silver pinstriping.

An Aegean Blue cockpit fairing is available as an optional accessory.
Other features include side panels with the Thruxton RS Ton Up logo, headlight bowl and rear fender all painted in Jet Black, blacked-out wheels, engine covers and rear suspension springs and Matt Aluminum Silver fork protectors.

The stat stickers on the tank of the Rocket 3...those are removable right? That's a terrible and corny joke more like something KTM would pull.
At least they're not Jack Daniels/Jim Beam/Budweiser themed bikes
