I just got my Rocket 3 two weeks ago I didn’t want to post til I got it out of the break-in period so I could really comment on it without any limitations.
Well I went over a 1000 miles last Thurs. and I spent the weekend really having fun with it. Man I love this bike! I am a recovering sport bike rider and I thought the Rocket would make for a smooth transition in to the cruiser world.
All day comfort and still makes me “holy….!” when I kick it in the nuts.
What I am really (and unexpectedly) impressed with is how well behaved it is at low speeds.
I also have to admit I get a huge kick out of the fact people are constantly asking me what the hell is that and how big is its engine. Sport bikes give me thumbs up and Harley guys do double takes. I had to bring my HJC flip face helmet out of retirement so I didn’t have to yell through my full face to answer questions at stop lights about it.
I get that much attention on it, well I’m sure I don’t have to tell you guys that
The first thing I did to my Rocket was put a back rest and gel dual touring seat on it for my girlfr…er, fiancé.
After taking her for a spin on it with the new set up the first thing she said once she got her helmet off was “lets spend memorial day weekend taking it up the coast to San Francisco.”
How’s that for a glowing endorsement!
On my sport bike all she would say is “can we stop now?!”
Well hope to see some of you other rocketeers on road.
