Looks small to me...( scale?)

@BigNorm is I believe the test rider.

Lol. I hate that most bikes are built for smaller riders. I get jealous of the little guys. They can fit on and ride everything. I look like a gorilla on a mini bike on most bikes. My R3 is the first bike other than a boss hoss that feels like it fits.

I kinda like it. Most people will install some sort of a tail tidy no matter where the rear fender is, and when I look at the pic and block out the fender with my finger the bike starts to come together. At 6'3" I'm just glad somebody is making a big motorcycle that's not an adventure bike.

I think it'll be one of those bikes I have to see in person and sit on it before I decide. Probably can't afford it anyway...

Knowing it's the same size bike, essentially the same weight once non-boat anchor exhaust is put on an older model, all this talk makes me chuckle.

Even the rider triangle is nearly the same, with the exception being the bars.

Visual impact really does a lot to sway people's opinions.

I've never liked cruisers, not even a little, so the new sportier appearance suits me, looks like a speed triple grew to Mammoth proportions to me, which I find a positive and more brand aligned choice.

You can now choose between a huge list of standards lol:
T100
T120
Street Triple 765
Speed Triple 1050 (no longer fits in the "super naked" category)
Tiger 800 (xcblabla street model)
Tiger 1200 (xcblablabla street model)
Rocket 3 R
Rocket 3 GT (let's be real, slightly forward controls do not a cruiser make).

If rumors are true of the 2.78 second 0-60, welcome the new performance king. Puts it 3rd or 4th on fastest 0-60 of all time for bikes, and it's the only standard on the top 10. If the traction control is good it'll be achievable by literally anyone with balls.

Moderators - I believe this to be a bit sexist. And scared-y-cat-ish. - I wonder if there will be a REKLUSE CLUTCH available.

Ditto...unfortunately!

I do have to say, the rider must be a giant, in that picture it does look half the size of the old Rockets.

Yeah, must be my dobbelganger.

Seems we have a lot of big guys on this forum, must be because it's a big bike.

And then we have Warp who needs to be strapped in a booster seat
