2024 Rocket 3 v BMW R18

I'd have one of these in a heartbeat.
Just for touring. I don't like the full dress baggers. I tour fairly light and this would be more than enough for my needs. I'd stage 3 it and that would do. I miss the big twin feel. I love the Rocket's triple character but the whump, whump, whump of a big Harley is equally satisfying in it's different way.

In my opinion the best one yet. Better start shopping. Rumor has it the Road King may get dropped from the next lineup.

I cannot abide the styling of the R18. The cylinders are ridiculously large and far less attractive than the BMW's earlier versions.
In terms of a performance comparison with the R3, there is no contest.
