I was waiting in the dealer show room when the first rockets came in, but when I met face to face I backed of thinking it was just gunna be another ****** rocket. The thought of tossin around a bike with 2300cc, That was almost twice the cubes of my 1500 Intruder, and three times the hp. Now I wonder why I waited over two years to take a test drive. It is just a awesom bike that handles easyier than my first 750. Waste no time go drop the bucks on the R3 and plant Cactus in the saddle bags of the H-D. You will never forget either of em..........:kick:
