Things I really like about my Rocket

[cardinal93]

Hell, veemax, it does it at 110mph just as effortlessly!
Not sure there's too many weak power band areas on the rocket!
As I crossed from France to Germany yesterday and hit the autobahn, I was doing 120k(about 75mph) I flipped off France's speed cameras with the left hand and rolled the throttle with the right. Cruised home at 200k (120ish) thinking how much I'm going to miss the autobahn. No problems rolling on power at that speed either

If you are older, the foot positioning and handlebars suck.

I bought my R3R because the foot positioning was exactly what I wanted.

My back can't take the foot forward/lean back posture found on Hardleys and gynecologists couches.

Been in a delivery room or two in my time, and the visual of that and the similarity to Hardley rider poses always cracks me up.

So, while the posture may be OK while stationary; banging about like that on the roads would have me crippled up in short order.

My dealer was not into selling me a new R3R with the old foot controls. It sounded like there could be an issue with the warranty, probably related to messing with the brakes. So I bought a 2007 Classic and got a Longhaul seat with backrest. The bars on the Classic have as much pullback as the Ultra Classic bars I had on my first R3. Very comfy.
