08 CLASSIC,05 VALKYRIE RUNE, 2015 CVO STREET GLIDE
I was at my local dealer today and got a chance to get a seat on the new Rocket TFC . My first impressions were it feels much smaller than my Classic, slightly higher seat height but I could still get both feet on the ground (I'm 5'6" ). Lifting it off the sidestand it felt much lighter but there were no fluids in it an probably no battery in it either as I asked the salesman if he would switch it on but got a no to that. With my feet up on the footrests the riding position felt more street than cruiser,as I was leaning more forward to reach the bars. It's certainly more compact than the old Rocket as far as riding position goes. Nice looking bike in the flesh but not really my thing.
 
GT will be less cramped. With those numbers it obviously isn’t one of the 750 for sale.

No chance of that as the bike was here for one day only.

I assume they are not the pulled back handlebars like on the GT. The pulled back bars would be a must for me.

bars are pretty much flat

I was told it was a pre production bike hence the 000,you're hopefully right about the GT
