Yesterday the weather took a turn for the nice side. I put the honey do's aside , and took the R3 out for a good ride. Ran I-40 east for about 60 miles then snaked back using some great riding roads. In other words I was able to give a good run on a lot of different types of roads. Only problem was a close encounter with a deer.
If I said I was pleased with the performance of the Rocket , it would have been a understatement. It handles almost as light as my 650 Vstrom ( counter steering around the deer proved it) , but has that big reserve of power when I want it. On the highway I keep feeling that I am in a lower gear because of the throttle response.
Last night I rode it over to a motorcycle club meeting. They have a mixed bag of bikes . Like I was told it would , the R3 got a lot of attention. That is after some kidding .
BTW I appreciate the input . May not sound like it but it does make me look at things from a different angle. Also cruise control I tried out on this bike from Bobs BMW works great. Been using them for years on different bikes. Cost is $65 , and set & forget.
