I don't understand the getting rid of the Rocket and replacing it with the scrambler. Can you explain ?

Well, the Arrow pipe and remap made a huge difference. Might have 60hp at the back wheel already.

I put Predator pipes, A1 removal, and the Nark pod kit on my 2012 stock SE and then had it tuned on Dynotune. It now puts out 74hp. With Thruxton size rear shocks and 120 front the thing fly's around town on standard gearing. Compliments the R3T nicely.It does things my Rocket can't do, the Rocket does thing the Bonneville will never do. You should get the same but with the advantage of getting off road. I'm lucky enough to be allowed to have a 530ktm and a WR250 Husky 2 banger for that

Please don't take this the wrong way, but you don't need to understand.

I rode my Rocket pretty much every day for almost 5 years, took it on long trips, rode it to work, took my son to school, fanged it through Tassie and by and large have had the time of my life on it. Met some of the best people you could ever meet - and some of the most treacherous and disloyal, but that's another story, and some of the most pitiful - also another story. I've modded it and made it something I liked and have been proud of. I still love it.

BUT there's plenty of other bikes out there and I don't need the world's largest motorcycle or tyre shredding acceleration to get a thrill out of riding. I don't need to prove anything to anyone and I'm up for something different. The Scrambler ticks every box for me - for now anyway.

I'm also keen to hang onto my licence.......

Understand completely. I never had a big bike until the R3 in 2004.After 8 years of power tripping,I convinced myself that the bike was too big to lug around and that at 63,I should retire from biking, having lived that long. I sold it in 2012 but after a few months, I was test riding bikes and got a TBird. After 2 years, I retired again. After a year, I got R3 fever and big yellow is about to be delivered. Pretty sick, huh?
