I have done quite a bit of survey before I decided to go with the very rare rocket 3 roadster. I live in Malaysia which is not the perfect country for biking. All year long it's bloody 35degrees Celsius, and very very humid. I basically can only enjoy riding in the early morning and evening...
I am new to riding a bike, have been driving for my life and just decided that I wanna start riding. Just for a weekend getaway. Nothing routine... Will only be getting my riding license next month...
I am planning to get a 2015 R3R, leave it stock for a while until I am very comfortable riding it, then probably some louder pipes and some blackout to make it look like a rocket X...
I looked up in the search column for "Malaysia", and ended up with no result.. I guess I might be the only Malaysian who likes R3R... I know there are probably 10 rockets sold in my country, but I don't know them.. If there are anyone out there who knows Malaysian that own a rocket3, please do introduce to me.. It's always better to have friends with the same interest..
I know riding a bike this size is no easy way and needs a lot of experience and practice. I have already started to train with a smaller bike on some slow speed maneuver. When I get my license and the roadster I'll be spending some time practicing some slow speed too until I am really comfortable with riding it, I am not going to risk 360kg tipping over on the road.. Later in when I am more experience I'll be riding with my wife and that's when I need to put in some saddle bags and trunk and probably a fairing..
In Malaysia the option for mods are just so limited.. Or maybe I should say none... I saw Corbin, Wilber's, carpenters, outlaw shorty, ect. and none of them exist in Malaysia. So I guess my next step would be to find out ways to get these parts and get someone to fix it for me in Malaysia..
I probably would try some cruiser group riding but I doubt I'll like them. cant handle the hot weather, and probably I am not a big fan of socializing with a big group of sweaty blokes...
Anyway, that's all for my introduction and what I am going to do from now onwards, I probably I'll start another thread about "Can 2015R3R fit Wilber's 642, Corbin saddle bags, Corbin fleet liner trunk, TORS, at the same time? And can the bags and trunks be easily removable and reattach"
It's good to have a forum to talk about this bike because I am afraid Malaysia doesn't have anyone talking about this bike...
Thanks
