Thoughts on ordering a hybrid R/GT Rocket?

[Tal]

No I didn't. Still thinking about it tho... a (cardinal) red GT. Mmmmm.

Trouble is, this silver thing is getting better lookin' each day.....

I took the R demo for a test ride thinking I would like the GT bars better but not the forward pegs. After 10 minutes I found the R bars to be very comfortable. So I bought the demo, it's RED!!!!, and added all the luggage, tank and back bag, luggage rack with back rest, quick shifter, heated grips like the GT{both should come with these!!}, and the GT windscreen. Dealer is fitting all of it now. I'm not sure if you can order a new Rocket as i was told by my dealer they are sold out!! But your dealer can do whatever you want, as long as you pay for it. Don't wait as they are going fast,,,,,very fast,,,,,you will love this bike!!!!

I think the “silver thing” is beautiful. Joe has a black R there now, which looks a lot nicer than I expected. The black wheels suit it much better than on the red one in my opinion. I’d probably get a black GT but would want it with black wheels. What am I saying? I’m not getting a Rocket. I’m not getting a Rocket.
Seriously, I am not getting a Rocket.

Are you getting a Rocket?

No. I’m not getting a Rocket. I’m not getting a Rocket.
Thruxton is up sale on Bikesales though......
Not a good time to be spending discretionary $ and even worse time to be selling something.

I feel the same way, once this is all done with ... I'm 'not' getting a Rocket either, probably a red one!

I looked at the instructions for relocating the foot controls back on the GT. Pretty complicated. The parts are cheap. Has anyone gotten a quote on the labor? Same for changing the handlebars?

I have the mid controls on order. I'll let you know how it goes. Can't be that bad. The bars might be a little more work. I'm keeping the GT bars.
