Thanks for pointing out the fuel mileage and the fact it uses regular. Interesting things you said about the Valkyrie. I did most of my own work on the Valkyrie and finally got tired of messing with it. I was running a lot of Seafoam to try and keep the jets clean. The six carbs were the only thing that gave me any problems. I did my own valve adjustments which they rarely needed so it was just a matter of keeping an eye on them. About the time I traded my Valk there were some guys having petcock problems. I had the tourer model and then added Cobra floorboards along with highway pegs. I did experience touching my legs on the engine multiple times. I will say in the 10 years I owned my Valk I met a lot of really nice fellow Valkyrie owners. I'm looking forward to riding the Rocket and see how it compares to the Valk and my Ultra. I need to be really careful when I choose my next bike. Before my Ultra I made a mistake buying a new Wideglide. I rode it 7,000 miles in about 5 months and wasn't happy with the bike so I traded it for my Ultra. I lost $3,000.00 plus what I spent on some upgrades. Since my wife doesn't ride and doesn't really like bikes that didn't sit well with her. I thought at some point I will probably get a smaller bike. I'm 60 and in pretty good shape so I think I have enough time to get one more big bike like the Rocket. Because of price I doubt I will be a future trike owner. I'm thinking if I stay healthy and strong I'll get a smaller bike when I'm 70.
