It’s both nimble for it’s size, and gentlemanly enough in throttle, to be a quiet country lane stroll-about, and a snarling, voracious a devourer of distance and highway pavement with a flick of the wrist. The mountainous torque makes it either forgiving, or viscous - but you can choose, it’s not at all temperamental or snatchy.
Not a gravel lane bike; heavy, and wrong suspension (but you have your Tiger, and I want one, too!) The Rocket is fine, if large/heavy for a city bike. But a countryside and highway bike? Phenomenal. Disgustingly, eye-watering-ly, phenomenal.
9743mi into the bike since May. Haven’t had any problem yet. Except I lost the right pannier bag on a highway and never did find it - Expensive and unexplained. And I can’t stand key fobs, but what can you do. Seat is ok - aftermarket can be plainly superior, but that’s common. Going to need a set of tires soon. Really, no complaints to date, sorry!
