getting used to it!

Nice 109
Still got it or traded in?

I sold it and bought an X1 but never fell in love with it. The 9 went to a good home.

I rode several victories when I started looking for a better bike.
Never fell in love with any of them, although they are very nice!
Hope you love the new rocket

Welcome and do enjoy (I've always liked your previous Suzuki model )

Do you feel any "justified" protection with the screen of your GT ? (I'm waiting for my R -due in April- and I expect to get the GT screen if there is a "justified" difference vs no screen). I know it is subjective but having an idea is better than none

If you decide to measure the length of your R3, I'd be happy to know it. I have found nowhere this info. (even not on the manual) !?

I would hold out for a good aftermarket screen. Unless your gonna add a deflector... No sense wasting money for a small difference. Can always swap out as weather dictates...

for me the screen is just a visual feature I like. Not that it would do anything on a long ride at all.
GT was just better suited for my style of riding, thats all really. everything else is just a bonus.
I never use a screen, if I want a screen I just have a full face helmet and thats my screen
rode few bigger Indians and Harleys with a screen and it drive me crazy. Too much buffeting for me.

I agree - I had it fitted to my R3-R purely for the way it looks on the bike. I've only done 100 miles on the bike, but I found it offers very little wind protection/deflection.

So far I had few days on the new Rocket3
still getting used to it and not pushing the limits
I can def say that its a mad bike and I am glad to own this beast.
coming from M109 there are not a lot of bikes out there that can make me smile.
This bike is another level in "cruiser" market.

Congratulations!

I have about 200 miles on mine, and i'm just working in to it. Straight up, if I lose respect for the power and the weight it won't be a good outcome. Spend your time just working up to it, that's what I am doing. I can already tell she runs a mean line in a corner, but again i'm just easing in to it. I figure it will take a good 1000 miles to really know how to use this machine. There's no rush, I'm enjoying the ride.

200 miles ? so only about 500 more to go before the first service maintenance and then a boosted rocket I guess...
