Hi,
Good start! Sorry, I’ve just seen the thread for newbie’s!
Just wanted to introduce myself. Don't shoot me . . . but I've been a Harley rider for 18 years now. Previously, many Jap bikes, my last and favourite was my Eddie Lawson rep ZRX1200R (god I miss that bike!). I've loved Rocket 3's since they first came out, however, once you're in Harley's grasp it's hard to break out with the p/x's and the 'devil you know' attitude. The problem is, they're all compromised. my current ride being a Sportster S, which is a great looking bike and insanely quick for a Harley. However, it only has 1.5 inches of suspension travel, a Rizzler seat and a 100 mile tank (for good reason lol).
I'm sure this has been brought up by other potential buyers, but my other favourite would be a V4 Diavel. So, my question/s are as follows:
Has anyone ridden both, what made you go for the Rocket?
What is it like living with the Rocket?
Handling?
Wind buffeting a 70 + for long rides?
Servicing?
Issues?
Things to look out for?
