Hahahaha I’ve seen my wife embarrass many a salesman. She is a researcher of facts.
Smart AND good looking!
Also sounds like a great challenge to me . . .

Once at the Harley dealer she was looking for an accessory and the salesman said they did not make that part. She walked right over to the wall and said,” this it right hear”.Smart AND good looking!

I think I heard him muttering some foul language.

I saw the video on another thread and commented there but I’ll restate briefly. He was not cut out to be a Rocket captain. After declining the bike he lists three others that are not even close to the same category. He flat out does not know what he wants. I’ve seen this very thing on this forum.
No harm no foul on the deposit and return. He got first chance and passed it up. I think the Rocket is an odd bike that takes a “special”
I did test ride mine as it was used and my dealer will let me ride anything even if we both know I’m not buying it. We took a Vanderhall out for a ride the other day just to see what it is. Nice machine but not for me.
I don’t do a lot of technical research about a bike. I look and I ride and I usually know before I ride that I will get it. To me a bike is an emotional toy and specs and facts are just tidbits to enjoy after the purchase. I love it before I buy it. So far I have not regretted any bike purchase.
I have a deposit on the TFC but barring any fatal finding I will buy it. I can ride or adapt to nearly any bike. Im an easy whore.
Well stated, Doc!
I like your "emotional" connection. Hadn't thought in that vein before, but it yells true for me!
I want the feel of satisfaction of pushing to my limits. My Rocket falls a tad short on this, but it is the best I have found so far in my old age hooning. I would prefer a sport bike that comfortably fit me and possesses limits that far exceed my own, but we do the best possible. This is why I do the research, so I can compare and assess what I can expect from my next drug machine!

Any of it start with a hard "C" sound?
Good on her!

If that be the case there would be one dead salesman.

I did more or less the same...hadn’t ridden for over 35 years and yes...bought a Rocket new and learned on it. Never looked back ....unless changing lanes of course !?!

Post not for the sensitive, all snowflakes stop reading now!
No not that word.
She does not mind the C word and she uses it often but it’s used when she is giving instructions.
Oops another TMI. You were warned.

Umm...I thought he sounded pretty genuine and honestly for 23k as he said...you gotta love it!
I for one traded my 15 and bought a brand new in Feb 18 simply because I knew I loved my rocket Roadster and My perceptions are the new one is conceptually different...mine I believe is a balls out performance cruiser, I’d describe this new un as more of a performance sports bike , in other words a blow yer tonks off for an hour or two blast as opposed to see myself simply jump on my bike and just point it in any direction and rode for noir after hour. That’s it, I think they are really hard to compare, conceptually I think it’s moved catagory.

I agree although If I ever do buy one it will be used for overnighters so I hope it 'tours' well. I'm betting it will.
