I see you had the Cobra 6 into 6 exhaust. Great sounding pipes! When my motorcycle mechanic was working on mine, his neighbor heard it running and came over and asked "Are you working on a car?"

Yes your right about the great sound but the the pipes were a Two Brothers Racing set I imported to Scotland . Burned a big hole in my wallet for them. I sold the bike to a mate to buy my first Rocket in 2005.

Got this 2006 new for my 50th birthday back in August 2007.

Sad Up-Date: (9-22-2025) I just found out something important to me over the weekend. I have been waiting almost 20 years to put my 2006 Rocket in the Idaho Vintage Motorcycle Clubs annual show in March of 2026. The show bikes up to now have to be 20 years or older. The sad news is, the Club Board just voted to change the age of the show bikes to 30 years or older beginning with the 2026 show. Buggers !!!

Bought a ‘22GT in June last year with 780 miles on it. Just took it in for the 20k service (ouch.) 19,870 miles. The Vandemon pipes, Penner tune & dyno truly unleashed the beast!

I feel like a youngun. First Rocket was a 2013 I bought in 2019, ridden 20k (wished it was more), and sold in 2024 to them buy a 2023 R3GT.
