Well I thought I would be polite and introduce myself as I'm taking advantage of all the great resource within this forum.
I currently ride a 2013 Yamaha R1 in Matt grey with Yoshimura TRC carbon exhausts and heated grips (it gets chilly in England) and although I really like the bike my circumstances are changing and I don't want to ride at warp speed but love acceleration and comfort.
I had a demo on a Rocket 3 Roadster a couple of years ago for about 2 hours and remember how good it was and was very close to buying one but didn't like the colours as I wanted a racing stripe (funny how they now have one)
Since then I have had a thunderbird 1600, VFR 1200, GXSR 1000, Multistrada 1200, ZZR1400 and had a BMW NineT on order but didn't go through with it. How fickle am I?
So my predicament is that I want a cool bike that will be reliable, a keeper and not date but still give me all the thrills so that I can ride with my mates who all have sports bikes. I would love a cafe racer but think the Thruxton is too small for my 6ft 16st (224lbs) frame
I know that you may be a little biased on here but do you think the rocket would fit the bill?
Many thanks in advance for all the replies
