Welcome from Montana!
I'm 6'7" and the size of the R3 was a huge draw for me. My first ride at 17 was an old Kawasaki 200. When I went to get my license endorsement, the examiner told my brother, "Looks like a grown man riding a pony." I've always found the Rocket to be a great fit.
Nah. I prefer longer intros… as you can see. The more you read through old threads, the more you see how much this forum is a real community. Detailed intros are great!
Yep, that's how mine has always been set up. Getting riding again lately I won't have any passengers for a while, so removed the rear seat, backrest and rack. Just the empty rear fender and bags. For looks I'd like to get rid of the bags, but they're just too useful. As a dad now, a good chunk of my available riding time is when I'm running small errands alone. I've actually thought about running the left bag only around town, since it's the only one that gets regular use.
Anyway, welcome! Glad you have a new outlet for your enthusiasm. It's been the same for me. Great to have people who not only love to ride, but appreciate the Rocket.
