I ride with a guy that has the big Rocket.....He's a big guy (350 lbs) and not a good rider, so I think he'd be happy with anything big and heavy. He's had it about 5 years and seems to be trouble free except the exhaust rusted out and fell apart.....I can call him and get more info if you wish?

Recently bought a water cooled GSA. The bike just does everything really well. Corners, two-up, Power, brakes, etc. Just a thought.

My is an 2008 Rocket 3 Touring. Mileage is roughly 30 to 35, depending on how aggressive you ride. Handles real well. Had only one issue with a dirty sensor that was making it run poorly.

If the universe compelled me to have and keep only one bike it would be the '99 BMW R1100S Sport Tourer that presently sits in one of my garages here at the house. It does everything damn well. Power (acres of torque - I added Staintune), balanced handling (I added the Ohllins), excellent braking (I added SS lines), eats asphalt at over 100 mph all day long and then idles like a kitten. . Edit: BTW, these bikes can be had for nominal $$$. A pity...a wonderful rig. . http://forums.pelicanparts.com/r1100s-bikes-parts-sale/ . BMW R1100S / R1200S Tech Forum - Pelican Parts Forums . ~~~~~~~~~~ Not mine but same color. With touring set-up. .  ~~~~~~~~~~~ Couldn't resist........... .
