Another Aussie welcome. Owning a Rocket isn't going to be like you imagine - it will be better. Get used to attracting lots of attention, both because of the bike itself and the silly grin you'll have stuck on your face most of the time.

I'm gettin' used to the silly grin just thinking about the fact that the R3 has 50% more torque than my Honda VTX. So, assuming a linear relationship, that works out to be about 50% more torque on the face muscles that operate my silly grin...

I've ridden a few VTXs and almost bought one. They do have a reasonable grin factor - probably more than any other Jap cruiser - but not in the same ball park as a Rocket. Best advice to give a new owner: hang on!
