    I have 27,000 miles on my Classic in 19 months. I'm on my 3 set of tires and nothing else is needed but gas and time to ride. It is an amassing ride..My brothers have HD's and we swap rides but I always love coming back to the Rocket. The power is always there at any speed.It handles alot better ...

    I have owned a Rocket know for over 2 years and have been very happy with the purchase. The bike has performed faultlessly and the dealerships here in Australia have been great. Couple of things to remember about the Rocket;

    1)it's big and heavy and difficult to maneuver at slow speeds ...

    2) has an appetitite for rear tyres (I got no more than 7000kms from the rear)

    3)It is bloody terrific!!!!!!!!!!

    I would recommend one to anybody looking for a big bike with mumbo.
