Why are people selling their Rockets?

[sonny]

Your dreaming. Kansas city closed down months ago. Have torn into many a Harley engine to find stamped parts made in China. To each his own but i know better. The only thing Harley does is assembly the bikes here in the states. Parts are cheap China stuff. Love Harleys but American made is just a slogan. Unless you want to spend some money and build a real American motorcycle. Aftermarket support is unreal. Plenty of American companies support the tradition. Bottom line is Screaming Chicken parts are cheap but if you want a real harley build it yourself. I can build a Harley in my sleep. Have one good rep for building fast and solid Harleys.

Funny, I'm just the opposite, I was just telling a friend that one of the things I love about my BMW is no chrome, everything is aluminum, lol.

I agree. I use to love chrome. Now I won't get another bike with chrome on it. Maybe too much chrome on my past bikes but I don't care for the look of chrome anymore.

My R3R is my first bike with chrome.

My R3R is my first bike with chrome.

I either like a bike fully chromed out or not at all. I'm close to finishing off Fiona (My R3T) as soon as I upgrade the handlebar switch casings and levers. Delilah (My VRod Muscle) is zero added chrome and beautiful... and my next two-wheeled girlfriend (an add not a replacement one day ) will be fully or nearly blacked out.

I am not one to sell or tradebikes often. That’s why I have a few in the garage. I find something to love about all the machines I currently own. I have no plans to sell either the ‘14 Roadster or the ‘20 TFC. They are two completely different bikes that only share a name.

Bought R3T as a birthday present 2016 road for 2 months till winter set in. The following year packed the bike & went for a ride , Got back 12 days later . never regretted my purchase . Today 7c-8c degrees . Got dressed for it . Put in 250 k . Was a fantastic last ride for season. Tomorrow they are calling for rain, ice,& snow. I can't see why someone would want to sell their R3 .

Just my opinion, but the first time I sat on the new models I was in awe and at the same time fear.
Awe because I could not believe how balanced it was and how lite it felt.
Fear because I knew people would buy the bike not knowing the raw power they would have at their fingertips.
I think it is dangerous. Like a sleeping tiger.
When I purchased my 2015 R3T I knew from the moment I mounted the bike it was to be respected. After the first ride I knew it was a bike that needed advanced riding skills.
It takes a special person to ride and appreciate these bikes. That is why we are Captains. You cannot master these bikes. You are a partner with the bike and earn a mutual respect every time you mount it.
The new bikes do not reveal themselves until people buy them. When you first sit on them they do not have that intimidation factor.

Sometimes we take for granted who we are an what we ride.
