I've ridden Harleys almost all my life. Over the past 7 years I owned several Hayabusas. Last year I bought an 09 Fatbob from Orlando HD. While I was waiting for it to be prepped, I took a preowned R3 for a test ride and it's haunted me ever since I really love the Fatbob, but can't get the R3 out of my head. The power and riding comfort seem to be calling me I pretty much know what all of you here will tell me.......so.......yes......I'll be heading to the dealer in Tampa this week

In the meantime, I'll be readin and lurkin here, thanks for a great forum!!
 
Hi Blademan
Yup sure is a great bike
And if you want Busa beating power
it can easily be obtained.
 
being an ex-hd myself I'm here to tell ya..I wish I'd done it sooner. I have a tour and it's fantastic. Got rid of my road glide and havent looked back. 150 hp at the rear tire.....and I smoke my fellow hd'rs. They try and tease me and call me trumpet boy, I just fire back and call them Honda Davidson riders. Honda has been making the front ends for about 8 years....hahaha.
 
Hey Knifemaker. You should check out Red Vapors bike. Such a deal. It don't sound like it needs much, but you can make it your own with a little help from the guys on this site. Welcome to the site from Chicago.
 
rode harleys since I was 17 myself,,
Every tattoo on my body says harley,,
then I took my first ride on a Rocket.
Now own two....
Don't hesitate, it'll only make you want it more...
Welcome to the site BTW from Oklahoma,
skip
 
Welcome to the forum.

Easy call for me, I love the Rocket and would not trade it for a Harley of any kind. That being said, I have a buddy that sold his Rocket to get a Fatbob. He had all kinds of reasons but I got the sense it was really a matter of fitting in with all of his riding buddies in N.C.

I grew up in Lakeland and still have family there. I was just there a few weeks ago. Not much seems to change there.
