Welcome. Let us know when you take the plunge and put in an order for the 2020 Rocket 3.
 
Hi guys,

I am a Kraut and ride motorcycles officially til my 20s, starting at 16y with MotoCross (amateur license) using several XT600s.
Later I switched to Suzuki Gixxers (1000), followed by some Hayabusas.

I got the feeling, that someday I will kill myself for sure with the Hayabusa, since naturally I'm a speed maniac and speeds above 300 km/h have been daily business to me.

So I sold the Busa and bought a BMW R 1200 GS LC to get things bit more calmed down.
Erm, the endspeed lowered, but the riding style remained... The GS is a weapon, if you know what I mean .o)

A bit later I added the BMW K 1600 GT for longer tours (and the audiosystem :eek:P).
Was a pleasure for a while, but then it got boring.

So, being an addicted maximalist my upcoming fascination for the well known Rocket III leaded into the new Rocket 3 R.
Black & Beautiful!
The older model was a bit too ugly imho - The new model looks amazing.

So, here I am.

Have a nice day
Warm regards
Sven
Welcome Sven. There are three groups of Rocket Captains on here. The old bike buys, the new bike guys and the like both guys. You know what a chit storm is?:laugh: Calling the old bike ugly might start one.:eek::D I was not in love with the old style at first but I bought one for the power of the motor. I grew to like it a lot and still have one modified to 203 hp. I do think the new model looks even better and am blessed to have both. Ride the new bike and let us know what you think.

Unless of course you like ugly.

I've never thought of the R3 as a pretty bike - I bought it for two-up distance work. And that's what it does (imo) best - Distance at speed.
