Hi. I've been a regular visitor to this board for almost 3 years...but now it is time to move on. I recently traded in my 04 R1150R for a Triumph Rocket III Classic Cruiser. I won't go into the reasons why...although I am extremely happy with the bike - totally different experience, but just as much fun as the R. I will miss coming to this forum to learn new things, but will drop by on occassion just for fun. Thanks to everyone for making this such a great board! Mark

Congratulations on the Rocket III. I still miss my Thunderbird Sport.

Check out the manufacturing methods on Youtube.

Or lookup "Triumph Rocket III" 21st Century Manufacturing.
I like the Monty Python slant.

I'm sure that Rocket has some torque and speed that you will not get from the R. I'm sure you will enjoy it. Personally don't like the cruiser riding position. Have fun and ride safe!
