I wonder what the Rocket will weigh.

I wonder what the Rocket will weigh.

About the same as a baby elephant I expect!

Should be alot lighter with all that plastic...

Certainly lost that classic styling, but is a cool concept that directly competes with the Ducati Diavel...that is for sure. I just wonder if the market will support the weight and performance of this bike. Personally I am interested in an update to the tourer, but then again I am biased.

IT will sell almost everyone likes it I will buy one

I am NOT interested in a touring version since I have the Indians that do a great job for me. I would be muc more enticed by a sport cruiser like my present Roadster.

I call dibs on Ponters Roadster if ya need to sell one to help defray the cost of the new one.

I will be selling it

I might even end up with ONLY ONE bike

Given that the rear wheel is definitely smaller diameter than the front, by your reckoning the front must be 19”. I don’t think so!
No surprise that the 240/50-16 Avon Chrome isn’t listed yet; the bike hasn’t even been released. It’s not like there’s a market outside the Rocket for that size - only one other and it runs the 55 profile Exedra Max (and thank whoever for that). At least it looks like they’re at long last ditching the Metzeler.

Took on board what your thinking was so did some scaling as best i could on the photos and i'm thinking its still a 16inch rear with a 240/50R 16
Avon Cobra Chrome on it...that would make more sense and the front still looks 17...
I checked the Avon Cobra Chrome sizes and the 240/50R 16 is there.
Wouldnt swear on that but my curiosity got the better of me...
...and it looks like the seat height may still be about the same ....as near as i can tell by scaling it out.
