Prospective Rocket Owner!


I'm a squirt at 200 6'1+ and put longer shocks on my clasic 06', 2" risers. I just came off of being dark but the car tire added some height too.
 
First of all if you are a StMirren fan enjoy the drop second the Roadster did not come on the scene until 2010 you have a std or a classic, if you can go newer it would probably be better as a few bugs were ironed out from the earlier models plus if you go 2010 and newer roadster you will get ABS.
The bike will fit you like a glove and it will go like wee Willie Henderson even with your wife on it.
 
Well the test ride didn't happen due to snow/rain here in Scotland today.
On the upside I went to look at absolute minted 2006 Classic with only 7700 miles on it & in stunning condition!
No test ride but may well just go ahead & buy it & get on with riding it!!

Hiya, thanks for you info. Canny really go for the 2010 onwards due to the price of them unfortunately. Didn't get a test ride on the standard due to snow/rain here in Glasgow!
Went & saw a 2006 Classic with only 7700 miles & absolutely in mint condition. Considering just getting it & get on with riding the big beastie!!
 
Fine looking bike ,love it when the warning stickers are still on the bike makes me laugh everytime I see that I was born and raise dion Glenrothes Fife left may years ago to escape pig faced Thatcher after the Miners strike 84/85

I wonder why so many bikes it seems have such very low mileage, might as well be brand new for those miles, congrats on a great choice.

Hoopla
 
I'm 6'8" and I'm fine on an 05. The older Rockets have the foot pegs mounted a few inches farther forward than the newer Roadsters. The only thing I've done so far is loosen the handlebar bolts and pushed them forward a bit. I love this bike and it's a blast, but my 1800VTXS is by far the most comfortable bike I've ever been on.Though it's not as quick, doesn't handle as well, and since I got the Rlll I've fell in love with the smooth triple. They're about in the same price range.
 
Hello Big Davy and welcome from Dumfries... Virginia. My family hails from the Border Reivers-Clan Elliott.

You will love that Rocket no matter which one you buy, just hurry up and get it.
