Rocket 3 GT 2020
Bought a 2020 R3 GT, more by chance than anything else.
I wanted a cruiser after riding an adventure bike for 10 years. I am quite short, specially my legs and therefore I could not always hold the bike up right, specially in uneven terrain. Last time I got even stuck under the bike and a big bruise on my hip.
Enough of that sh**, I said to myself and started looking for cruisers and custom bikes.
Had my eye on Suzuki Intruder 1800, even looked at some and one of them the seller had his sons R3 Storm next to it.
I got was so stunned by the look of the bike that I looked more closely and more details just made me more astonished.
Bought one before I went on vacation and can’t wait to get home now, to ride it.

Got the two Givi panniers with it and the larger windshield.

Greetings from Sweden.

Greetings from sunny North Texas. You'll find the Rocket is a very capable machine and handles much better than expected for such a large bike. It isn't nimble like an adventure bike, but it has other traits that will charm you, like a butter smooth engine, freight train like torque, and ergonomics that beg for all day in the seat. Enjoy.
 
Welcome from Ct. I also bought a rocket for something different from the GS 1200's and KTM 1290's I've been riding since 2005. Still have 2 1290's but the rocket is now my favorite long trip highway bike. After a year of mods, making it a tourer

Do Joe happen to have a thread with all your mods or can shortly summarize them?

They're all over the place. I'll do my best. Russel Day Long these fork mounted wind deflectors are a must. for me anyway.

Made these telescoping windshield supports because I wanted a big shieild for the highway.
