Rocket R and Rocket GT video

I still think this bike should bring near 200CV and more than 221NM. An increase of 21CV and same torque at 4000 RPM, instead of 2750 RPM, it seems too less for that big engine. I dare say the "old" Vmax 1700 will continue to smoke the Rocket.
Don't get me wrong, I love my Rocket for everything we all know and that one will stay at my garage. As my 2nd bike i would like to buy the greatest muscle bike evermade which breaks everything in power and torque, living up to the 2500cc engine. Think I have to wait what Yamaha will do next year.

Looks cool but not even remotely interested personally.

I have owned 2 'first year ' motorcycles in my life and they were both unmitigated disasters. First year 80ci Shovel head and first year 96 ci 6 speed twin cam.

Both of which were traded off for the two that are listed under my avatar.
 

My experience with the re-emerged Thunderbird in 2010 was just that... my girl had every issue encountered in that first production run.
