  1. Rocket III vs. Suzuki M109R

    Hi, I've been a member for a while but I guess this is my 1st thread!! This site is the best source for RIII among other sites! Thank you for that. OK... I've been considering either Rocket III or M109R for quite long time. I guess lots of riders had same thoughts before making up their mind...
  2. From Roadstar Silverado to Rocket III

    Traded my Yamaha to this 2005 beauty and oh my. Cannot believe the power and design of this machine. Am glad Corbin had the ferring and beatle bags, I think gives her even a more cleaner/sleak look. Took sometime to develop a relationship with her "Eleanor" much different ride than what I was...
  3. New Rocket III Touring tune question

    I read a post in one of the forums that "New" Rockets arrive at the dealer without a tune installed. This occurs when the bike is uncrated & assembled. Is there any reason why a Rocket III Touring (basically de-tuned) could not be "tuned" to the same specs as a standard or classic Rocket...
  4. New Rocket III Classic!!

    Whee! I just got home from the dealer after signing the deal on my new blue/white '07 Rocket III Classic! I've been lurking here for a while, and finally bit the bullet after my wife talked me into it (yah, she didn't really need to do much talking:-) I'm currently riding a Thruxton...

    Greenie says Rocket III is too big. Waaahhhh!!

    This guy just doesn't get it. (Check out the link below) "I can't think of any scenario where a rider needs the power output of the Rocket III's 2.3 liter engine. That engine would be just fine in a small car, and is complete excess in a motorcycle." :eek...

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1&viewitem=&item=160158218681 I can only assume it was in a house fire, sad ending for this bike.
  7. Tank Bra for Rocket III

    If anyone is looking for a leather tank bra, the folks at Chilhowee Leather are now offering one. They worked with me on a design and it fits/looks real good.

  11. New Rocket III

    Greetings ... I'm picking up a 2007 Classic Tourer from an Atlanta dealer on Tuesday, 5/15/07. I am a little concerned about a couple of issues with the ride, as I am selling a Suzuki 1500 LC and a Honda Valkyrie to cover the cost of this bike. First concern: when I test road the Rocket III...
