:hammer: A friend of mine recently bought a full dress harley. It has a seat height of 24.5 inches. Way to low for me, but he is short in height so it works well for him. When he was showing me the bike I sat on it and checked the balance some. I found myself saying out loud "It is not a bad little bike". The words just came out unintentionally.
:hammer: I still think the Rocket is a dynamite bike. Not loud or over stated, but quick, balanced and different.

I had a Road Glide when I first bought my R-III. The Road Glide pretty much sat in the garage after I brought my R-III home. After a few weeks, I felt the Road Glide needed to get some riding in, so I jumped on it and had the same impression! It felt tiny!.. hahaha. When I ride my wife's Nighthawk 750, I think I'm on a dirt bike..

Yea anything other then a Boss Hoss is going to be scooter material...I have found the more I ride her the more enjoyment I get and the better I get at figuring out what makes her handle better. I see similiarities with riding and something else? :hammer:

I had Harley baggers (among other bikes) and they are comfy bikes, just not fast, if you make them fast then they arent reliable. plus there are too many on the road now, forget about making it your own, you just blend in no matter what model you have.. I get way more attn on the Rocket than I ever got on the HD and i had nitrous on it...
My brothers have roadkings and no one ever stops to look at them when i am with them, they all come and check out the Rocket... thing they're getting tired of it.. haa haa

Supersport I know what you mean. Every where I go people come up to me and want to ask me questions about my RIII. I did not buy for that purpose, but I enjoy the attention. It is unique in a time when Harleys are like every other widget.
