Featured Rocket Test Ride Rocket 3 R

Seems a bit ironic and hopefully it's not disrespectful posting this when Dilligaf has just traded his in, but I went for a 2 hr test ride on a Rocket 3 R this morning, what a fabulous piece of engineering!!!!, was hugely impressed, it is such an awesome looking machine in the flesh, I was expecting to feel a bit intimidated by it but couldn't be further from the truth, I felt at ease straight away and although it is a huge machine it seemed lighter than I thought it would, I think maybe due to it's low centre of gravity. The torquey power is fantastic and it is so responsive, the only downside for me is the ground clearance, I just continually grounded it on the first half dozen corners when I first opened it up a bit so I had to rein my riding back a bit which was a pity as it handled brilliantly! Sadly though the price is pretty mad as well and maybe a step too far for me to justify, a wonderful bike though!!!! By the way when I got on my Speed Twin to come back home it felt like a I was sitting on a toy bike with the difference in size.

 

No doubt about it mate they’re bloody impressive
Everyone should have a go if they get the chance
I don’t regret getting mine I regret not being able to relax and enjoy it

 

Just wasn’t enjoying it even though it’s the most phenomenal/impressive bike I’ve ever been on
Strange I know but it’s gotta be enjoyable and I just didn’t gel with it
It’s weight was also hurting my shoulders and in some respect I spent more time worrying about things instead of having fun

its gotta be fun

oops forgot the other part of your question
I’ve gone for a Tiger 900 GT Pro

 

Yeah I know Micky
He’s supposed to be my gaffer at work

I give him a hard time at work
We were next door neighbours when we were kids

 

Don’t worry I do
