The rocket 3 is a great bike and i miss mine, but my c109rt i am enjoying very much, much easier to muscle around even though it's heavier the rocket always felt top heavy. The engine is hard to beat on the rocket but the 109 actually gets it pretty good and i'm not dissapointed in it at all after coming off a rocket which i was worried about. I always liked v-twins and big cruisers but the big triple does have tons of charisma. The great thing about a rocket is it doesn't look like every other harley. Triumph rocket 3 tires-150 front, 240 back, Suzuki c109rt front-150, back 240. I really want to keep the Suzuki for a fair while (whatever that means) but in the future i can see another Rocket. The Japanese makers seem to be getting away from big cruisers except for the raider. The Kawi nomad is nice but i did 't feel the engine would do much for me, especially after i read the reviews. I like the Kawasaki vulcan 2000 but it isn't offered anymore. I think the rocket could be improved with a few changes Monoshock, 2.3 liters could produce a lot more power, i mean bmw has a 999cc bike with 180 plus horse power. Anyway this is not my last bike and Triumph has a place in my heart will see what the future brings with the rocket, God forbid they drop the rocket, if the vmax can last since 1986 i think the rocket should go for at least 30 years.
