I test drove the GT and R. My last Rocket III had more rear wheel HP and torque than either. However, the new Rocket is a much better bike - lighter, smoother, better suspension, better brakes, better looks, and electronics (cornering ABS, traction control). I was crazed about it for weeks. However, I needed either the RT bars on the R or the R foot controls on the GT. For the $27K out the door, it was too impractical, though way fast enough for me. After 2 Rockets, I went to a T120, which after 3 years, had not enough power or performance. At 700 lbs, the new Rocket is still too heavy for me. I don’t like the missing rear fender, rinky dink luggage, and useless tiny wind screen. It’s a big, powerful, naked street fighter. I wound up trading the T120 for a BMW R1250R. Way more performance than the T120, more power (136 hp), similar weight to the T120, super handling and brakes, and great luggage. It’s still a naked bike, the wind is a bit much for me at 70 mph. Looking for a decent screen. VStream looks promising.
