Are They fkn kidding ?

My old bike that my wife rides the hell out of now is a heavily customized 2000 Roadstar 1700 Silverado. It is low, loud, fast, with lots of chrome, and a very nice paint job. The engine is built right, the carbs are re-jetted, all the turn signals and the tail/stop light are all leds, the ezhaust is done right, and the powermaster was dialled in using a dyno.

She loves to park it right in the middle of a bunch of harleys and newer metric cruisers whenever we go anywhere. It really annoys some of them when people walk by theirs, stop and stare, and then compliment both of us on our bikes.

We both do almost all of the work on ours. To me..real bikes (just like real hot rod cars/trucks) are built up by the owners with their own two hands...not by a factory or some expensive customizing shop. When it breaks down in the middle of BFE...you had better know how to get it running again to get you back home.

Never owned one but i have always liked the Yammie Cruisers

its not worth you guys time, let them jerk off on their M109's to keep the shine going...

the 109 was an attempt to trump the vtx1800 back in the day...

when I got my last R3R I went and test rode the 109 before I picked up the R3 and it did nothing for me.

I am still looking for a low mile VTX1800F as a 2nd bike with right pipe, PC and intake you can hit 120HP/Torque...

"Nice bike, but no where near the hotness of the 9. If you buy it, you'll just be another bike on the road."

Porkchop and his crews misguided opinion are of no interest to me .. once someone puts a doo-rag on their head it seems to stop blood flow to frontal lobes ..

The last bike I had that I traded for my 2006 Rocket was a black 2007 vtx 1800r. I loved that bike. Rode good, handled well, and was quick as greased lightning. Owned it for three years. I bought it, sold my wife's 2002 V Star, and gave her my 2000 Road Star. Redid the intake, exhaust, did a few more tricks to it, tinkered with the engine a bit,and added a powermaster.

It dyno'ed in at just a hair over 125hp/torque.

Then I found out about a certain 2006 gold metallic Rocket 3 Classic with low miles that I had been looking for for years, and that needed a bit of TLC that I could get cheap from a dealer that was looking to unload it real cheap....and the rest is history.

There was a time when i bought my Roadking back in 2001 everyone stopped to look it over and bombarded me with questions . Today they don't even look at it. When i bought my Busa every one called it a donor cycle. When i first laid eyes on the Rocket III Standard back in 2004 lucky for me i saved up enough to get it in 2005, 9 out of 10 riders were afraid to test ride the bike when it first came out. Susuki has always made a great bike i've had 3 threw the years Busa,550 ,750 and had a blast on all three bikes. The most enjoyment i ever had is riding the Rocket. Nine years after i bought it folks still look it over and ask me all about it.
