I didn't notice that but I will agree the new rocket was dirty I couldn't beleive it was in the condition it was. The R they had inside was a lot cleaner. Both black so no fast red ones I'm glad sitting on didn't give me the I got to have one thought. I really liked the new 900 tigers. And the speed twin with the 1200 felt like it would be a blast in the twisties at half the size of a rocket. Didn't sit on the bobbers not really my thing.
