I'm sure the Rocket X is nice but really?

That shiny stripe is actually a hand ground metal polished to the max. Same on fenders and Truimph logo on side of tank. Blacked out rims which includes a hand painted stripe. Blacked out handle bars along with a few more items blacked out. All cosmetic no increase in power. Very slick looking. A few things added since purchase but you get the idea. Bought brand new in Oct 2015 now has 47,000 miles and have had no problems at all with the bike. LOVE IT>

It has an X on it do you know how much the letter X costs when a line is coming to the end of its life bike/car makers are pretty good at putting out special editions to try and squeeze a few more dollars out of them, usually a different paint job or something along that line to make it a wee bit different.
The rocket has been in production since 2004 without(ABS excluded) any major changes it has had a good life.

Well, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, matter of fact pretty gullible too.....so I will go along and try to believe that you are giving it to me straight......but I'll still be thinkin', considering the cost, there just has to be a bunch of parts made with platinum or titanium or unobtainium under that very bland exterior.

Well go on out and throw your leg over your 2006 then. I prefer throwing my leg over the 2015 X.
