I know what you're sayin' RJ. But many folks ride in town only these days or just short trips of 45-50 miles out in the country. It works well for that purpose and is still great fun to ride. I do wish Star put a bigger capacity on the new units though.
 
Any way to do that (add a tank) to the R3T ? I'd be game. That is a common complaint about the Honda CTX700 -- gets great mileage and has a relatively large fairing under which they hide a tiny tank . . . less range than the Rocket.

Just pop over to China...$1200 US for a one year old model at the Tianjin bike market. Of course it's so hot you can hardly sit on it, you can't license it, you can't ride it into Beijing due to engine size, and you can't export it, but for that meager cost you can ride the h@ll out of it up in the mountains and throw it away when you leave the country!!
