Very interested in the R3s and here for more information. Hopefully relatively soon I will own one myself. Owned a few bikes over the years including a Shadow Spirit in pieces in the garage at the moment . The rocket seems like it would be a good fit for what I'm looking for.

Welcome to the forum.
Not sure what kind of bike you're looking for,
or what kind of riding you're use to,
but the Rocket is a good ride.
Unique in the looks and ride dept.

Nah...not a good fit. Aggies have a problem balancing on Rockets.

Ha! Welcome to the site. You know a Longhorn fan was going to have to throw something up like that.

You'll find an active group of Rocket Captains here. Anything you'll ever need to know.

Welcome to the site if you want a cruiser with lots of power, the rocket is it .riding my shadow tourer 1100 is like walking compared to my r3 as a matter of fact I've only rode the shadow a couple of times just to keep it running smooth .Oh and you will hear alot about which color is faster but dont let them kidd ya, black is the fastest of the colors available today .

Welcome.. So does does NYTXAGGIE make you a Yankee Aggie? That's a heck of a combination!..

I will have to say that blue is faster.. Mine was black once, but it's faster now that it's blue..

I agree with everything Rocket3jjd said. My 108ci FXR feels like a moped after riding my (black) R3.

Welcome

PS My wife is an Aggie and does have trouble with balancing!
