I am a Triumph rider from as far back as 1964. I am now riding a 2006 Rocket 3 and love it. It is better than any thing Harley Davidson make, allthough I love the bonnevilles they are not large...

I Also own a 2005 rocket which now has 17k miles.It truely is an awesome machine! I have installed a Triumph stage two kit and now it not only has more power but it also sounds fantastic! My wife rides a 2006 Bonneyville that has over 7000 miles logged. Both are great bikes and the fun factor is way up! You are right Harleys are boring.

That thing is HUGE!!! BUT I have been told by many HD converts that it is the best touiring bike thet ever rode!! It has a bigger engine than my truck. I can imagine that it is as comfortable touring as it is large. My old crippled broken down body does OK w/ the Bonne. It was my 1st bike & will be my last! If I was able to do some long distance cruising- that would be my choice for sure!!! I have been told that its like driving a luxury car w/ 2 wheels. No HD rattle your teeth!!

I agree.
I have a Harley Ultra Classic and so far, the 259 miles I have on my new Rocket III Touring have been fantastic. Time will be tell, but so far:
Better Handling, more acceleration, Higher top end, etc, etc. than my Ultra Classic!

I traded in my 07 Rocket for a Bonnie T100. After owning 7 harleys and a Scrambler, I thought I might give the Rocket a run. WHAT A MACHINE!!! Twist the throttle and every
thing is behind you. Three rear tires in 6500 miles was the down side along with the leggs forward riding position. My broken down back would not allow me to sit very long with my weight on my butt. I needed a standard riding position and the Bonnie fit the bill perfectly. Love those twins!
