No one has said that, since they don't have any issues, the Rocket is just fine.....not one.
My mistake. Not in what i meant, but in my syntax. I didn't mean to say that anyone thinks there are zero problems with it, but then i think that should go w/o saying since there is not a mechanical device ever created by man that doesn't. What i meant to say is that there are many here who refuse to see it goes beyond normal. I'll tell you again why i say that. What i see as proof anyways. If you can dispute it go ahead, but i'm simply going to state facts.

There are about as i said before, probably 50-100 of the twins on the road then rockets. My reasoning for those numbers is that i have literally only seen maybe 5-10 rockets on the streets here in one of the largest cities in the US. I have seen hundreds of bonnies and a few of the twin cruisers. So for the sake of argument lets say there are 50 twins for every rocket, tho i'm sure it's gotta be a good bit more than that. Then assuming they have a similar percentage of issues for their numbers, we should see 50 serious issues in the twins community for every 1 serious issue in the R3 community. But heres what i have seen. In the R3 community i have seen the exact opposite and then some. I have seen dozens of serious issues and as i said before literally about 1 or 2 in the twins community. And i only had to scan the R3 community to find dozens, yet i have read the twins forums here and elsewhere for almost 3 years daily !

Now, if you can dispute that go ahead. But i can see no logic that could. And please, none of that "the online community doesn't represent the overall ownership" type of argument. It's senseless. The word "relative" is all that needs to be said. In short, the numbers show that either the twins are the most reliable mechanical device ever designed by man, or the rocket has an inordinate amount of issues. why you can't understand that i don't know, but as you can see i'm not the only one who has figured it out.
