New Honda

Harley Street Glide starts at 20K and the Victory Cross Country Tour starts at 19K. Its about 60-70 lbs more than those two, but a water cooled six vs an air cooled twin has to pay a price in weight.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not comparing it to a Harley. I wouldn't own a Street Glide for lots of reasons. I wouldn't own a Victory either. I don't care for the styling.

My comment was more about other people putting the Rocket down because of it's weight.

Biker after reading Mitch's comment I really think you took it wrong. One vet to another thanks for your service.

I can honestly say i would never intentionally disrespect or mock a veteran
I have great respect for the sacrifices made for the rest of us .

My comment was never directed at war veterans it was just ribbing the older captains a little is all . But i wont appoligise because i dont believe i said anything wrong . Thank u for your comment Warp he did take it the wrong way . We cant go through life holding back all comments in fear that someone somewhere may be a veteran and own that particular product and be offended ohwell ive said my bit that is all from me

Mitch, man am I gonna piss people off with this. Blow it off the guy must be suffering form PTSD or something! Disabled Vet plates and handicap stickers do not mean a thing you can get those for having sleep apnea. You said nothing that would even lead anyone to think you were talking about a vet. Yep I am a "vet", 24 years and have a son that hit an IED in beautiful downtown Afghanistan 15 Apr of this year. Almost killed him, he is home on leave and he wasn't offended either by your post.

Yup, styling is a very personal matter. My tastes run toward the Italian bikes, but my old body dictates a more relaxed riding position. I guess my point was, the more options, the better for everyone. After all, somebody is buying Hyosungs.

And yeah, we're at a disadvantage weight wise, that 2300cc motor ain't no featherweight.

Didn't realise your wife wore a black helmet Mitch. Yours looks sweet though.

Mitch is bull****ing ... he pulled the owner of the Goldwing up and tried to do a straight swap. The pink helmet was a bit of a deal sweetener .. guy wasn't interested in the Rocket... too heavy and too 'exposed' or something like that !!!

 

[Lifelong Biker]

I kinda like the Honda, ( never thought i'd ever say that! ) like a jap version of a street glide. I'm also sure Mitch's comment was taken wrong, he was just busting the Honda, as an old man's bike! Lighten up!

Yeah ya got forgive a young wiper sniper Mitch he's just out of puberty and thinks people like TC, Richard and me who are 55 are old geriatrics...... Little does he know eh
