I have the Black limited edition, since almost 3 years ago and 28000km. The best bike ever. I've ridden lots of bikes, even now I own 3 more (2 Indians and 1 MV Agusta), and the Rocket is the best of the bunch. Last summer I did 5500 km in 7 days on the Italian coast. No back hurt, no butt hurt, no arms hurt - I have no words to praise it enough...

The quick shifter is a no brainer, great value and great fun for the money. Also compared to my Harley Ultra the Rocket does not put out anywhere near the engine heat. I have over 80,000 miles on my 2020 GT now and when it wears out I will be getting another Rocket. Great review, thanks.

I'd like to have a go of one but the weight would put me off wanting to own one. Even at 67, I can still manage to push my Suzuki 1000 V twin up the ramp into my garage, albeit with a slight runup, or pick it up if it topples over, perhaps through carelessness with the sidestand. With this bike, I'd need the help of two neighbours. I met a guy some years ago, of the age I am now, and he'd installed a turntable in his garage for his Rocket 3. That's just silly.

Looks great and if you wait for a previous years model or on occasion 2 year old but unsold for almost $8,000 off. Same for the speed triple RR 2023 model near me is over $5k off. So a long way of saying, no it’s not worth it.

Idk I need to see it has a responsive non delayed throttle before even consider it. Most new bikes feel so disconnected compared to what I’m used to I almost can’t get along with them. Every new bike I’ve demoed I couldn’t get off fast enough
@AlanOfAmine0912 күн бұрын
I just picked up a ‘23 R3 which has the throttle by wire. My other bike has a throttle cable (as have all my past bikes) and the throttle of the R3 is absolutely instantaneous. No latency at all, it’s mind-blowing how quickly it responds.
