Not an easy decision. Cruisers like Harleys and V Stars etc. can do the job as well as sport tourers like the Breva and the BMW (I know the Sprint would be perfect but its too similar to my Speedy). So I narrowed it down to the Rocket, Road King and Breva (I know that they are different as all heck).
How does the Rocket compare to the other two choices?

I've been riding since I was a kid. I've always been partial to cruisers. When it came time for me to buy, what I intend to be the very last bike I ever get it was a toss-up between the R3 and a Harley Heritage. I road tested both on the same day. And the R3 won hands down. Here's what I based my decision on:
Acceleration
Comfort for the long ride
Agility & Balance
Smoothness
Breaking (especially hard breaking... think panic-stop)
There wasn't even a question. I got my R3 now 9 days ago and haven't touched my car yet. That includes about 3 hours in 100 degree weather yesterday. :-)
And all the Harley guys I know are drooling.
