After reading all I could find about the Rocket, I was hopelessly in love with the idea of having one. I had gone the route of the VTX 1800 and loved it. I'd gone to the trouble of adding pipes, breather and power commander and got it up to 94 hp. I wanted more - More cornering ability without dragging and more raw horsepower. It still had to be comfortable for both me and my wife. I sold the VTX and the next morning I called my dealer to see how soon I could get one. They said they'd have one ready the next morning.
I love riding the twisties of N. Georgia and N. Carolina. I was pushing the VTX to its limits with scraping at every turn. The Rocket was made to corner and with the power it has, it slingshots out of the turns. I can't stay out of the throttle! What a blast! What instantaneous response! The bike is also very smooth. My wife has fallen asleep on the back of it... I'm going to have to Velcro her to me before I lose her! Maintenance wise, the Rocket has been flawless and getting stronger as it breaks in.
Four months, almost 4,000 miles and it still brings a grin to my face every time I ride it. WHAT A BIKE!
Oh... and the service was great at purchase. I can't yet speak for their service department since this bike has not needed it and that's a good thing!
Upgrades/Accessories: Triumph Roadster windscreen, Rivco Hwy bars, Kury footpegs, Kury mirrors, Leatherlyke bags, Triumph sissy and luggage rack, Rivco passenger floorboards, Rivco risers... soon to have the Triumph de-cat and off-roads.
