Rocket market

Found 6 brand new here in Oz...did not realise there were still new ones for sale. Just shows that they are really not known to the general motorcycle population.
If I had the money...maybe I should start a kickstarter campaign, “Buy Jason a new Rocket”

I thought the whole purpose of kick starter is for the cases when you don’t have the money :D
 
Gas mileage....... it's all in the tune.

My 03 Dodge Ram used to have a standard 5.9 Magnum engine with factory tuned PCM. The gas mileage was awful.

I had a 408 built and installed a Vortech supercharger. Had Flyin' Ryan Performance create a tune and installed it into the PCM. I get better gas mileage with the bigger engine but also more horsepower and torque.

Now if I could keep my foot out of it then I would really know how much better gas mileage I'm getting.

The Rocket is not a big selling bike(pardon the pun) I really was surprised that Triumph is bringing out an updated model, if the old ones do not sell fast what makes them think that the new more expensive ones will fly off the shelve????????

The new style and more modern features will help it sell better than the older models.JMO

I put a 116 big bore kit on my Indian and picked up 5 mpg with an increase in displacement.

I cammed and tuned my Victory Cross Country and picked up better milage. The engine is now more efficient that's why it gets better milage.
