Currently I've got two Suzuki Intruders, an 800 and a 1500. I'm starting to think about another bike and I'm pretty sure it's going to be a Rocket.

I rode a friend's Rocket3 a couple years ago, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head. I figure, if I'm going to get a bigger bike, I might as well get the biggest!

It'll be awhile before I pull the trigger, so I'll be lurking for awhile learning as much as I can before I buy.

Welcome from the Misery side of KC. Now go get your Rocket.

I kept my '07 1050 Tiger thinking I'd ride both. Anyone wanna buy a Tiger?

I kinda do... The guy I bought my Rocket from has one and I rode it around the block and really enjoyed it. I just don't think I could handle that riding position for long stretches, but there's definitely something cool about it. Fortunately, I'm broke so I don't have to give it any actual consideration...

I actually think it's much more comfortable than the Rocket. The riding position was great and it has excellent wind protection.

I have a weird thing with me knees - if they're bent more than 90° to get on the pegs, they start hurting after 20 minutes or so. I can't ride BMWs very long and sport bikes are right out. I only rode the Tiger for a couple minutes so I don't remember how far back those pegs are. If they don't give a knee angle greater than 90° though, it wouldn't work well for me.
 
Already did! Got it a few weeks ago, and been driving it like I stole it!
If there any other KC area rocketeers, I'm always up for a meetup/ride!
