Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with the bike so far, although I have done less than 1000 miles on it.
The Rocket 3 is blisteringly quick for a bike its size.
It handles extremely well considering the weight, although given the cruiser styling, it cannot be leaned far into corners as with a sports bike.
The brakes (from the 955i) are fantastic, easy progressive stopping power from any speed.
Clutch is featherlite, and can be operated with one finger.
I own one of these... 7/10 acceleration??? Right... stock bike out drags a Hayabusa from 0-60. Google it... it's true. Call me crazy, but that might make 10/10 acceleration on a bike that is classified as a heavy cruiser.
I would be interested to hear the views of any of our vertically challenged Rocket 3 owners. I believe that the seat height is quite low but wide. Being only 5' 7", I am not sure if the bike would be too big for me. I have previously owned a Honda Goldwing 1500SE, which I could just about manage. Any comments or views would be appreciated.
