Makes you wonder why he wouldnt just get a bike custom made from ground up for 250 big ones... Rockets are awesome, but 250k later it aint a r3 no more..

There was another thread on it I think and a YouTube vid on it's creation.

Should start a website called rocket****.com

You mean this web site isn't "Rocket ****"? **** it, wrong site again... All that anticipation building to a hopeful climax... but Noooo you had to ruin it. thx

out curiosity I rang the guy after seeing the vid talking to him and he tells me the dude that commisioned the swingarm has spent around $250,000.00 on his rocket so far, in the vid you also see tripleclamps fork lower etc all these were made for the same bike, must be nice to have that much money to spend on a bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw some of the bits and pieces this bloke had made for this bike .. Skip was working on it at one stage. Everything was one-off , can't see the sense in it either. People with money never seem to know what to wisely do with it .. the majority of the rest us us seem to spend it pretty wisely. Funny old world ain't it

I would like to conduct a scientific experiment (I am a scientist after all ). I just need someone to give me a large sum of money. I will then track my spending habits. I currently squeak when I walk (part of being Scottish I reckon). If the squeaking subsides, then I guess we have our answer. My Paypal account is "poor fred@I'm farking broke.com".

Saw it before too. Sure is a thing of beauty but I have to agree with Nolton (only this once). Why? I could spend $11,000 on my bike but that wouldn't be how I'd do it. Actually I wouldn't spend $11,000 on my Rocket. 1 or 2 maybe but I'd use the rest to buy a Bonnie.

I've spent a bit more than that
But brought a new Bonnie anyway
