“had origional rocket 111 in 2005 and loved it ,after writing it off after 5 years bought the tourer and hated it, after a few years of riding it i changed my style of riding and it clicked, now best bike i ever owned and would only replace it with another one (better than any harley i,ve test ridden)”
“Yes it’s heavy but when it’s on the road all I can think of in relation to the feel is a Range Rover on 2 wheels. So smooth, so powerfull, so look at me lol
It is a MANs bike, not a wannt the biggest thing you can offer”
“What an awesome machine, I friggin love this bike. At first I was intimidated by the sheer size of it, it's bloody massive! I soon realised that it's very user friendly and has very good manners. Don't get me wrong, if you want to put the hammer down she's got power in buckets and it pulls like a train, but she is equally happy trundling along at a low speed too. Negatives, all I can think of is that she's a little thirsty, other than that it's all positive. Not to everyone's liking I know, some prefer being hunched over all day, but hey...each to their own!”
“great to look at however gearbox is not good at all very difficult to find neutral sometimes have to turn engine off in gear then locate it whilst on the side stand. chrome also of poor quality and tends to rust,also front brake not great, they are full of character though and british.”
“great bike 1 or 2 up, comfort for both and for a bike that' s 370 kg you can throw it into any corner, you get about 130 - 140 miles out of the tank. i would recommend this bike to anyone.”
“I adore this machine in laymans terms it does what it says on the packet. Comfort is second to none with the gell seat and back rests. Very stable at all speeds allthough you must take into account the weight when pulling away. After about 5mph she rides herself. I have 3 bikes inc a 1200cc bandit but evry chance i get i ride the Rocket. Overall 5 star for everything. Its like falling in love again.”
“my previous bike was rocket111 which i had from new 0or 6 years until modified miopic car driver, narrower tyres and improved fuel means cheaper to run. dont notice reduction in power. no complaints, my dream bike.”
