Hey, how tall are you? I also came from an M109R, which was super comfortable and a great bike — in my opinion, it had a unique character and a certain soul that I personally miss a bit on the Rocket. Due to the Euro 5 regulations, the Rocket feels a bit more refined and muted, especially in terms of sound and engine feel.
It’s still an impressive machine, no doubt — but I’d definitely recommend trying both the R and GT versions before buying, especially if you're coming from a big V-twin like the M109R. The character is quite different.I’m still getting used to it after 3500 km. If I had the chance to go back to my old M1800R, I probably would — but that’s another story
Back to the topic:
I’m 192 cm / 6'4", and from my personal perspective, the Rocket 3 R feels a bit compact. That’s probably my second biggest issue with it. The seat is quite low, and there’s not a lot of legroom between the seat and the pegs. The GT might be a better fit if you’re coming from something like the M109R — it offers a more relaxed riding position — but keep in mind that it comes with a different type of handlebars that sit closer to your body, which may or may not suit your preference.
