I took a look at the new Tourer when I bought my R3. The first thing that went through my head was "If I wanted a Road King I'd have bought a Road king." Granted it doesn't really compare on the technical side but it's clear what this bike is meant to do. That is to grab the Hardley wannabe's.

I don't like the single head light, flattened tank, they removed the tach to make tank-mounted speedo, Harley-like bags and sitting on it is like sitting on a horse on steroids! But ultimately, it just didn't feel like a Rocket...
