I was at the book store yesterday reading about iconic motorcycles and I came across this original sketch for the Rocket 3 and thought you guys might find it pretty cool so I took a picture. Interesting design!

Thanks for sharing - VERY cool!

Note the July 99 date - took 5 years to come to fruition.

I like the old Rocket pipe they drew in there. Looks like they tried to commemorate the original in more ways than just the name.

I like the puff of smoke behind the rear wheel.

thats cool it didnt end up much different. thankfully it ended up with a bigger tank and front end higher up, take sthe harley look off it. and also that exhaust end would have been a disaster lol
