I was at the dealers today and looking at a new Sprint. Nice bike but I don't care too much for the riding position.
But then I just happened to look at the Rocket. Sombody PLEASE talk me out of getting one!Tell me why I should'nt get one. Tell me I should get that beautiful Sportster Roadster instead. Tell me the Rocket is too big and impractical.Something!

Very large well balance bike. She banks and returns with ease. Low vibration even at very high speeds. I cracked the throttle this past season and she shot up to 130 mph with more to spare. Please do not compare the Rocket III to the HD Sportster. The Rocket is a big cruiser with exceptional handling. If I ever get another bike I will still hold on to my R3.
