Some of us bought their Rocket back in '04 (I did) or early '05 and, since then, lodged tens of thousands of miles on them.
The question is this: What should customer loyalty-conscious (I'd hope) Hinckley do to the '08 Rocket (and/or various versions thereof) to entice us to consider trading our current mounts in?:
1. More bling?
2. More displacement and/or power?
3. A 6th OD-type gear?
4. Better cornering clearance?
5. More comfort (including --but not limited to-- better suspension)?
6. A true tourer, i.e with full fairing, hard bags, luggage rack... etc.
7. Better overall quality and/or dependability (ref. to such "common issues" issues as chrome pitting, erratic idling, tranny and /or diff problems...)
8. More on-board electronic toys... radio... CD player... GPS... tuning options... airbags eek...
9. Extended warranty... free maintenance for 2 or 3 years... automotive-type service contracts...?
10. ....
I realize the stew is probably simmering already. But that should not prevent us from expressing ourselves about how palatable we expect it to be, should it?.
