Rides like a cruiser, handles like a sports bike and gets up to speed faster than you can imagine. Fit and finnish are first class.
Shifter was sticking up when upshifting for the first 200 miles but that went away. May get you a speeding ticket if you are not careful.
I was the proud owner of a Honda VTX 1800 and decided I wanted something different and went for the Triumph Rocket 3 Cruiser. Wow, I am really glad I made that decision. The VTX was a good bike but the Rocket 3 is a great bike. The handling of the Rocket makes the VTX seem like a pig and the accelerationl of the Triumph is unbelievable. I had V&H Big Shots on the VTX and the Rocket 3 is quite quiet. That will take some getting used to.
I love this bike and the more I ride it, the better it gets. I am a very satisfied customer so far.
