Looking at an 05

[mexican]

what recall was that ?

throttle body sincronizing, i thought that was standard maintenence but guess not
took it to the shop 3 months ago to have it ready for Colorado this coming 21st, everything checked out great, had the valves checked as per specs, never needed adjusting, final drive good, motor good, not bad for a 10 year old bike

My 2005 Rocket has way over 60000 miles on it and all trouble free the bike has never let me down, if you can afford it go with a later model but do not think they are trouble free just as much problems with the later models than with the original true early Rockets.(exc the BSA)
Before anyone chips in go with the red colour it is a well known fact they are faster it must be true for I have posted it online

I just picked up my Little Red Rocket and will tell you now that when I came through reentry the back tire wasn't the only thing burned up.

Welcome to the Forum from Sunny South Florida! I'm sure you'll make the right purchase decision, but if it were me, I'd go with the 06.

An update. Went to look at the 05, and it was gone.

Been trying to work on the 06 with little success. Very poor communication from the dealer who's out of state.

Yes - I'd make sure to throw rocks from the comfort of my glass house!

We should declare a truce and go after the Packers!

0-16 is negative perfection, nothing wrong with that! I agree, join forces against the cheeseheads and Vickies.
