Rocket market

Hopefully it does Mel, but one reason the old Rocket sold was its cheeeeeep arse price, people are only brand loyal to a certain point.

Well I will freely commit to occasionally seeing things from a brand loyalty POV. But on the whole I believe change is a good thing - progress, however I'm less sure about.

Dave it has nothing to do with the brand but the big motor may help. I think it is the "cool looking" factor that will make it go better than the brand loyalty. I think the main market is not us but a younger group of guys looking to be cool. Now I agree with you that this price thing may be a problem especially for the young market .

Who worries about MPG when riding? I don't.

Me neither. Until you're riding cross country and you have to stop to fill up twice to your your buddies' once.

Quickie69 just had his dyno tuned Friday with a solid 140hp/145fp torque. Unfortunately it no longer belongs to me so I don't get to experience it.

All big bikes seem to be going for low prices these days, especially Harleys and Indians

You can ride it anytime you like Captain!!
