    You can get a used Rocket in great condition for less....which would you rather ride?

    Backing down the driveway ?

    This is true...5'10' 28 inseam. Learned to proceed slowly and deliberately when backing in my gravel drive. Being attentive and always wearing good boots I have had no problems. Rocket is worth the extra care.

    Removable bags and windshield are nice, mine came used with aftermarket bags and a short and tall windshield. I remove these for day rides but as I use my 2012 R3 for touring and camping find them nice for long trips.

    I do not know history of upgrades. It has the Triumph performance exhaust no other apparent mods. I checked with owner before me and he said he thought it was stock, but then he did not tell me or I did not hear him tell me about the tire size being off. I am not a mechanic or an engineer...

    Most complete answer yet. I greatly appreciate your input. I love my "new" Rocket but have had some anxious moments trying to maneuver from a top in parking lots and stopping on steep inclines. I think the 1/2" will hep a lot. Plan is to wear out current tires and try shorter ones. This...

    thank you for the input! I will let everyone know when I try this. I have a goodly amount of tread on the tires I have, too poor to ditch them. Yours is the first positive feedback I on the Corbin seat, thank you. I Will have to buy tires anyway so will try that first.

    I do not think so. Good advise but my concern is that at times I do have to back up and would like more that just my toes for traction
