That is one sexy beast! I'm usually not a fan of the carbon fiber look, but it's very well done on this bike and kept to a minimum. I'm not seeing the front turn signals, are they hidden? I'll have to save the pic and zoom in.
 
Nice blower arrangement. Plumbing looks neat and tidy. Not obtrusive. Hard to tell but is there an inter-cooler under the rad? :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

The turn signals are a semi halo around the led headlights

Touring version in a few years?

I'm not sure. Really because I am not 100% convinced the market exists. These days - all I seem to see drifting around loaded and 2 up are Adventure type bikes. Seeing a Wing or similar these days is very very rare indeed. Maybe it is/was a generation thing. And most solo riders I see are on Adventures or Nakeds (classic and modern). I freely admit to not caring too much what others want, but I am not Mr Bloor.

These are proper touring machines. The new R3s are not real tourers including the GT. Even the older touring model can not deliver the ride and comforts these can. I know this is a Rocket place so most may not appreciate these but they are full comfort week long bikes.

I think most new Rocket riders are not interested in touring they want the big motor in a muscle bike for day rides. Most riders I know really never go on extended trips. Time will tell about touring set ups but for now let’s enjoy the new Roadsters.

PS these ain’t little but de be slow.:laugh:
