2020 Rocket 3 TFC details released!

[Dr.D]

Ok I’ll confess. I put money down the other day. After looking more closely at the pics and the specs I just said what the heck, I’m not living forever on this planet so go for it. Sandy thinks I’m buying for her.

If she can ride it due to its seat height then we’ll share it.

The dealer has been told what I’ll pay and it ain’t msrp.

 

[Dr.D]

Kind of figured that. Do you realize how much i can drink at a setting?

Do realize how much money I have?

Just joking about massive money I don’t want to come off sounding like an arrogant dik.

Yeh I ain’t challenging your wallet bro just making good on my promise to buy you a few rounds.

If I need some cash for the new TFC maybe you could float me a note.

My pockets have become rather deep and yes bragging about it. Got a check today that just flat blew me away. Wife went out and spent some. Me i just worked on the bike and then looked at the direct deposit and said Fuc& it and got good and drunk. By the way I am fond of COORS.

The new 2.5 seems to have the same torque specs as the old roadster.

...It depends on where you read it i think..i have read 230nm's??......
FWIW, my 2016 Roadster with K&N pods, Jardine headers dyno tune and PCV came out at 199 NM's of torque max...so i'm thinking that the new one, stock, will be more than that...??who knows ? and mines not stock.

You'd trust the rest of the electronic gadgetry but not the FBW?? I've seen a lot of the responses on here saying the same. And the reason why?? This is a serious question, not a pi$$ take, interested to know what there is to doubt or mistrust.

Like someone already mentioned Toyota had some just running away for no reason. Audi had some too. A lady who was friends with my aunt had one that decided it wanted to go wide open while she was backing out of a parking spot. Luckily she wasn't hurt but she did total 3 cars. I'll keep control of my own throttle thank you very much.

Still the price tag change well and truly outweighs the performance increase - on a bike that was once a big shiny cruiser - and isn’t any more.
At my age I prefer the old cruiser - I hope they provide a cuisy option for touring and 2 up.

I love my 2010 roadster - it’s a keeper
I’m having a mid life crisis without killing myself or my budget - one that my wife approves of

Amen! Which is how you live a longer happy life...

Embrace these advanced beasts, don't live in the past like Harley-Davidson does!

Excellent sentiment. Lets get prices of used bikes down.

I am a pre-luddite. Even the 'lectronics on the 2009 R3 peeve me.
