Every bike I've owned has been the best bike, simply because I could ride it.... I love the Rocket Roadster for what it does, and for the area it excels in. Triumph hit it out of the park. But tomorrow when I hit the road to go downstate, I'll be on the Harley with the trunk, full fairing, radio and cruise control. And I'll wave at everyone riding a bike, even if it's a Vespa.
All bikes ride well for what they were designed, i feel just as good riding the rocket as i feel riding the harley, honda suzuki etc etc, take your pick
It seems Yamaha may have a very sound touring bike on the go. I had a venture royal v4. They've now put the big 1800 v twin in their touring bike. I'm afraid to test ride. I wish I could own them all.
The big Yamaha cruisers out Harley the Harleys in every way and with Japanese reliability and sound great as well I have been tempted a couple of times to buy one ,but I wanted a fast Touring bike that corners well
Loftyboy says it all! "i prefer the twin-cadence in the long run but ...prefer the rocket grunt" (and power!). Twins that perform beneath 3000 tpm are far more "relaxing" on the highway-pure meditation!.
I'm the owner of a Buell, oldtimer BMW 1000 cc and.....since 5000 miles a ROCKET! (which by the way appears to be very small beside the bike a was offered to climb on last week-Boss Hoss -6.2 650 kg!)
