It all depends what it's turning point is like around the streets& roundabouts of UK and personally I don't like the design of the headlight as it's not aerodynamically shaped due to that over hang of metal on top.

It's OK for people that stand about 6' 5'' or more of a big build otherwise you would definitely need help to lift it up again if it ever tipped over on it side. I think you would definitely need a proper hydraulic bike stand for that bike if you ever wanted to do maintenance work on it because I don't see your average paddock stands' wheels being able to cope with the weight of it for very long.

Now that looks much better with that modern retro styling !!!

Go and test it and see if it corners ok too.

Awsome looking bike and I think old style cruisers can be left behind for this new styling.

def i test drove the 2004 very very nice bike specially with throttle responce for a cruiser. 165 hp to rear wheel i believe. its stretched longer then a cruiser so you have a sports feel to it. it corner excelnt. test it for yourselfs it will amaze you. the center of gravity is so slow the bike stands on its on basically. very very nice.

Have you tried Triumph's Rocket III - 2300cc engine !

It can get from 0 to 100mph faster than Yamaha's R1

None of these things have really beaten the good old Vmax in my eye.

I shall have to see if my local bike dealer has got another one of those Rocket III bikes back on display because the last one they got sold within a week or two of it arriving! So somebody has got the money for it and a garage BIG enough to store it.

It's back tyre is the equivalent to the size of a car tyre when I seen it in the showroom.

Here's a price quoted as $15,909 by a Californian bike dealer via this link;

UK's pricing £11,999
