Your bike before your rocket.

One of these days I'm gonna have a GT750. One guy I worked with had one with shaved heads, flat slide carbs, and chrome expansion chamber exhaust, and flat handlebars. That's the first bike I rode that scare the BeeJezuz out of me!

 
Not only bike before Rocket but very first bike

Yamaha V-Star 1100 Custom. Bought new, had for 10 months then traded in on Rocket III. Had I think over 8,000 miles on it.
 
Honda CBR , needed to slow it down a little , so went for my first cruiser , the rocket
 
My first bike was a Kawasaki 305 csr belt driven never had a problem with it drove until it just gave up. Second bike was a Suzuki 850 Gsl not many problems with it either but just was slow as hell no umph. Now have my 07 Rocket and love every day i'm on it.
