I've got a 2011 Road King that I use to travel to races. I would like very much to make my 2014 R3R as comfortable and convenient as the RK. The RK is a pack mule. The R3R gets used more often but I put more miles on the RK. I also have a Yamaha XSR900 (Kenny Roberts tribute) and WR250X supermoto. I hardly ride either of those any more because the R3R torque is addictive. The R3R wins hands down on being unique.

Here is my problem. My garage is too small. I just bought a Factory Five Challenge racecar that is street legal and need to work down to one bike in the garage. It comes down to RK vs R3R. I love the R3R every time I ride it! I thoroughly enjoy riding the RK to far away races. I hate to admit it but I would be embarrassed to own a Harley as my only bike! What to do?

Note: The Harley has 49,000 miles and has been trouble free!

The title of this post begs the questions,

1. Would you be inclined to own a Rocket after owning a Harley?

or

2. Would you be inclined to own a Harley after owning a Rocket?


I think question 1 gets the nod....

I have a Fatboy, circa 2000, so she’s no youngster and been riding that for a long time. I read about the rocket and on a whim test rode a 2016 with only 800 miles on it this April. Short story, I was sold. I ride the Fatboy occasionally now. I keep it for sentimental reasons and that it’s probably not worth a lot since the market is so flooded with older Harley’s. The rocket is like a sport bike compared to the Fatboy. CVO pricing is absurd. 40k+ for a bike? A buddy picked up a used one with low mile with a stage II or III, I forget and it doesn’t matter. He was so pissed at me when we raced a light one day and he got smoked, very badly. I giggled like a little school girl.

My friend has a hopped up 06 Softail. Always talks about how fast it is. He he opened it up next to me on my 08 R3T the other day. I nailed second hard and laughed as he got real small in my mirror!! He was choking on rubber smoke as my back tire lit up a bit!! We pulled up to a light and his jaw was unhinged....
