Be hard not to get caught in the rain with the summer we’re having!
Reminds me of my old Speedtriple’s in that your sat on top of the bike, the old Rocket feels much like your sat in it with the tank shape etc,wouldn’t be getting too excited even if I had the funds......

The bike does look significantly smaller, being 6ft 2 I would have to sit on one but my R3X is just right.

That rear ‘mudguard’ / indicators is horrendous
Would be the first thing to go if it were mine,looks like it was forgotten in the original design and added to make road legal, just ugly to me but seems to be a modern trend?

If I wanted to look like a circus monkey on a tiny bike, I’d get a Harley.

The wheelbase is said to be 66" so not even 3/4" less than the original!
