Well, I just got home from picking up my Rocket!
Got all my accessories on, and she's a beauty!!!
The handling on this thing is really incredible for a bike
this size. Just poking around a parking lot is a piece of
cake, and on the road, just a little nudge on the handlebars
dips her right down into corners. Took a couple pics and
heading back out for a ride! Gonna have to get used to
the heal/toe shifter, never really used one of those:-) | | | |

| Welcome and enjoy the Rocket. I too like the Thruxton, I've wanted one for quite some time. I was at the dealer today and the Speed 4 would not leave me alone. Kept calling my name, but when I got home the wife quickly brought me back down to earth. | | | |

You might like the Thrux but your back won't.  Besides, you'll be cranking that sucker up like a cheap Chinese watch trying to duplicate the performance of the Rocket. | | | |

I love my Thrux! Not as much juice for sure, but it sure is a
fun bike in the NC twisties. I'm keepin' 'em both, can't do
more than 150 miles or so on the Thrux and at 150 miles
I'm pretty tired. I had to do months of situps to strengthen
my back to the point I could ride that far on it (have to
use my back to keep the weight off my wrists).
Probably needed to be doing situps anyway though.
So, sold the old off road Jeep and gots me a Rocket. Now I
can use the Thrux just for 50-60 mile twisty rides and the
Rocket for everything else:-) | |
