The best thing about the Rocket is, it's instant identity impact--NO mistaking them for anything else.
"SORRY" This started out as a quote, and became a "BASH" Ha! must have forgot my Prozac this morning!
I agree 100%, and I still can't understand people wanting to buy a new Road King, Rode Glide, Sofa Glide, whatever. Same old 2 cylinder, thumpin, and more recently with EPA lean crap, "overheating" under powered Cadillac, with only 2 wheels, and no AC. The one's with the "captains" chair mounted on the back, arm rests and all, along with a couple of huge over sized fiberglass saddle bags, enough lights to look like a Christmas tree ??? I just dunno. And think about the price? And how much they, like any new vehicle, depreciate, after signing the papers, and driving around the block! I have a 2006 Harley Sportster 883C in my barn right now. Got suckered into a no down payment deal back then, and 12.5% interest. Had over $15,000 in it, after payments, and probably dropped another 2 or 3 K on 1200cc kit, carb, ignition module, pipes, on and on. Be lucky to get $4000 for it now. Paid $16,000 CASH for my 2013 Rocket, and only thing I've had to buy since was 2 tires, and a battery. And I guarantee you I bust 100mph at least at some point, on every ride I take. Had the Hardley topped out at close to 120mph, and that was all she had, and with me laying down on the tank!
