Just picked up the new 2013 R3R 1 month ago and 791 miles later still got the grin.

What a beast and to have power available in all 5 gears is soooo cool.
Handles fairly well for such a big bike considering the 240mm rear tire.

Absolutely smoked some annoying guy on a HD VRod, but he asked for it lol.

Self cancelling turn signals would be nice.

Now you know it is not nice to pick on the little guy. Sure does feel good though, they can be irritating with that potato, potato, potato exhaust.
 
The Touring has self cancelling signals, the Roadster doesn't???
 
I so dislike the whole HD scene and the arrogance of the many posers who ride them. Nice to put that guy in check. He then wouldn't look at me at the light down the road and lagged behind till I exited. Boo hoo for him.
 
Welcome aboard hossman. Not wanting to dampen your enthusiasm, in fact you're a lot like all of us and will fit in just fine, but I wouldn't say I hate the Harley scene. Sure some of the posers give me the sh#ts but I don't begrudge anyone the right to love their bike and to like to be around others who feel the same way. Good on them I say. We all know a Rocket has gobs of torque so should be quicker off the line than most other bikes, especially anything high revving. The real challenge is being a good enough rider to get these things moving as quick as some of these 'faster' bikes, not just down the road but around corners too.
 
Welcome Hossman! Check out the Signal Minder for cancelation.

You from Jersey, what exit? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Had a V-Rod Muscle sometime back..stupid name but in fairness it wasn't a bad bike..i was told it wasn't a real Harley because it was liquid cooled
Makes you wonder what these F*ucking idiots are saying about the new water cooled heads
