Any bike other than a Rocket...

Joke? Even the blacked out Indian is a better deal for the buck. Bike is the ultimate of poor design and marketing. BMW tried but failed. Next best thing 2019 V4R

I own both a Rocket Roadster and a K1600 B. They are different but the BMW is a fantastically smooth bike, faster than my Rocket (except for the first couple of hundred yards- slower take off) and way more comfortable on a long ride. It will outhandle the Rocket in any situation and outbreak it easily, I love my Rocket but its an old school more raw type of fun.
 
Yes But The Ducati V4R 2019 I just placed $4.000 thousand on as a down -payment today might just be a bit quicker. Either way the Rocket with a few modifications will smoke the BMW. Comfort no doubt. Nice ride. Out Handle Don't think so. Upgrade the suspension and the Rocket will out maneuver the BMW. Walk circles around them. Piss poor design by BMW.

I have Hagon Nitros, Progressive front springs, Excedra Max and Avon Cobra tire fix- My Rocket handles about as well as you can modify it. BMW will still outrun that Rocket on a twisty road- easily, no ...effortlessly, with the same rider so its not a skill thing.
Anyway, no point in arguing it... I ride both and I like riding both.. The Rocket is a great bike and the BMW is a fantastic machine!
 
Don't think so. Anytime anywhere. Have progressive front and back. Viking exhaust with ramair. Really good tune. Excedra max rear Scorcher II 140 up front. No argument just facts. My low end torque and middle range with the suspension will blow you to the curb. Easy. BMW has the lowest customer satisfaction rate of all brands.So I guess if you want second fiddle at a high price good on you. Other's have tried and lost on a BMW. Trust me on that one. BMW at one time made good bikes. Plain and simple.
 

My mods are almost identical to yours with an Ulf Penner custom Map. BMW will will hold its own against the Triumph. Seat of pants testing of both tell me that
