Where's the Beer?
I've been lurking around for a very short time and have just started learning about these bikes. I put my CVO Ultra Classic up for sale and started shopping for a Triumph Rocket 3. My plan was to buy a Roadster, but I've ran across this Touring model with a supercharger and I can't help but to think about buying it now that my Ultra Classic has sold on ebay (pending payment).
I've rode a turbo'd Vrod before and it was pretty crazy fast, I'm betting this Rocket is much faster! I'm trying to come up with a reason to not buy it, but I can't think of anything other than reliability. You don't add this to your bike and not use it, so how reliable are they? Maybe this bike is being sold because it's already almost blown up? Any advice?
The seller says it's been Dyno'd at 250 Rear Wheel Horsepower with Stage 1 Kit, Stage 2 kit added 50 more Horse at 8 pounds of boost. It has 14,000 miles on it (I'm not sure how many of those miles were with the supercharger)
