Ok Rayjay, do i detect that you are still in awe of your Rocket . Come on Mate , if you havent figured out by now that its an underpowered bike, you must have had too much yorkshire pudding. Also with that gargantuan rear number plate on the back of British Bikes, you need a 1000cc bike to do over 70 mph. What is it with that huge Plate ,are the police blind or what. maybe its so you can get photographed at every intersection for some minor infraction , so the pigs can send you a ticket for another couple of hundred quid. The Mighty Triumph Rocket should have at least 240 hp and do 180+mph stock. They Brag about being the largest production bike in the Blaa Blaa Blaa, but most Jap and Italian bikes leave it in the dust after 100 mph. Dont get me wrong, the Rocket has a ton of low end grunt, But when do you need to pull a trailer, Boat or Caravan?. The best quality my Rocket has is for tying the Dog down in the garage. Im Over it !. There are bikes over here ( US) with 8.2 Litre v8's in them, with 500 hp, now thats what i mean about power. Those things rip your foreskin off at any green light. Hows that rain coming down over there. Still getting 202 days of Rain on average. All you Brits must have trench foot by now, I feel bad for your riding conditions, it cant be any fun trying to ride with webbed feet. Anyway enjoy your bike
