Hello from the Midwest

[Wade'sWorld]

I am lucky enough to have 3 bikes in my garage - Kawasaki Ninja 1000 Sports/Tourer / Triumph Trophy SE and now the R3 Roadster... Every time I go out these days it is on the Rocket. It feels so good to ride. Low center of gravity, loads of torque, shaft drive, good brakes, far better handling than it has any right to have and such a great "feel" to it. You will love it
Caveats as follows :

1. You should plan on a new seat if you plan to have your good lady on the back quite often unless she is a newer model with a slim posterior
2. Once you buy it you will want to upgrade it... especially if you read the stuff from the gang on here ... costing me a fortune ;-)
3 If you do much riding at night you will need to buy upgraded headlights - but can pick up a pair of LED units for about $100

4. If you ride it you will want to buy it....


Update - I just saw your latest comment - Good choice sir -Enjoy and welcome to the crew !

Yep, I already have been searching all over the forum on many different threads about additions I want to do. It's all about personalization now.

Oh I did not say the bike needs any mods. It is just a sickness we all have. Some much more than others.

I am one of the more normal ones. I did the exhaust, intake, and tune. Then there are those that catch Turbo fever.

We set a snowfall record here for the month of February...This time of year it can melt quickly...I am hoping anyway.

Hello Wade and welcome from Virginia. Sorry for the tardy greeting, been a bust winter. How are you and the Rocket getting on now that the melt has begun?
I was in Minneapolis in Jan when the temps were -30F. I cold feel my beard freezing as soon as I walked outside the hotel.
