Lool its a plane, no its a Rocket

Well, I'm coming out of a corner in first gear. Popped it into second, dropped the clutch and give her some go juice.
Must have gave her more than I thought as the next thing I know the front end is off the ground and defying gravity.
Honestly, did not mean to do that.
In all seriousness, was very smooth and not a big deal at all. She just wanted to fly


this bike is fun!!!

Honestly Officer my wrist slipped
Not so much on the R3T but some time ago I had a Suzuki GSX1400 (a real grunt master) and it would pop the front wheel at the slightest provocation, once I got used to it was OK ,but frightened the daylights out of me the first time it unexpectedly happened

Its a blast isnt it? I just put an Avon Cobra on my 2011 R3R and it easily pulls the wheel up. I love this bike too.

Two bikes I would like to see in the USA, the Yamaha XJR 1300 and the GSX 1400.

Yes great Bikes and like all big Japanese bikes bullet proof, I had a GS1000S many years ago and bought the GSX 1400 because it was the same format as the GS 1000S

I have spent most of my riding years on big cc Kawasaki KZs and Gpzs. I love most of the big Japanese muscle bikes. We still have 4 Ninjas here but I will say this Rocket has me by the balls.

Interesting how you would mention new tires.
I just (a couple of months ago) put new shoes on her.
Exedra Max in back and Avon on the front. Most definitely better handling, and feels much lighter.
