Not impressed with the sound. I know the Rocket is a great, well-built bike, but I just don't like it. I'm a Honda F6C (Valkyrie) rider, for those who are interested.
is that just a gutted stock exhaust?? I really don't like the three pipe look. I understand the basis for it, I just think it looks like ass from the rear. Sounds great though!
love your comment ' lets see if we can spin up that rear tire abit ' triple sounds great . reminded me of old h1 and h2 kawi's. 1/4 sound of best sounding motor ever V12 thanks
That's a nice souding bike , triples are suprisingly smooth. but it's way too big for my taste , hell my car has a smaller engine and probably get's better economey too lol. they are stunning though, I remember the first time I saw one , it was a glimpse and I wondered if my eyes played tricks on me. My ride is a 91 R/100/GS Bumble Beemer, I'm 59 and I don't have any chicken strips on my tires , welll, just a little on the very edge I've never been able to get off in 93 thousand miles.
I actually think it is a plastic sound, like one and a half CX500s might sound. Love the old brit bike sound - I am 49 and remember the old Triumphs, Nortons and the like, and cant get off on this even though I want to; I actually prefer the sound of a Harley. But I am into cars now cos bikes scare the crap out o me, I nearly died so many times.
not really. sound travels backwards out of exhaust. a car with loud music in front of u will still cut u off cause they never heard u. the only time ur heard all over is when ur on full throttle
No wonder Harley riders shit themselves at the sight of this beast! Harley may try to get the US government to ban it like they did with the original Triumph 650 Thunderbird back in the 50's! British bikes are making a long overdue comeback!

Why would anyone do that to their motorcycle? I have a motorcycle and can't imagine doing that to it. Why would you want to burn the rubber off of your tires especially on a cruiser bike! STUPID STUPID STUPID!!
Its his fawkin bike, who cares. Ride yours how you want. You can't imagine doing that? What a pansy, sell your bike now to someone who will actually ride it.
I do ride mine how I want...I just don't destroy the tires like a fool trying to look cool!. I would hate to be the person on same rode with a fool like this person...right back at you "pansy"
Sell my bike? Why would I do that....plenty of people want it but it is not for sale...it is MY superfly!
Its funny how you can sling the shit calling someone stupid for doing a burnout on a bike. You ever tried one, it is actually really easy to do, and the amount of rubber he left was nothing serious. And how is he endagering anyone, good for you that you don't destroy your tires. Have a cookie, now don't you feel better. Just because people don't ride like you, does not make them stupid. Its his machine, his money, his tires, stupid to you or not, who cares what you think.
Don't worry bout these harley riders and their potato potato loud exhaust. They like to sound fast, we actually back up our sound with actual horsepower. I love running into harleys on the street, you pull up and they are reving their motors at the lights until they see the rocket come up beside them. Suddenly they are quiet as a mouse.
I wish they would come out with a new Valk, I have a 99 and a Rocket 3, if Honda had built a motor that would be in the range of the rockets on a large bike like the Valk I would have picked one up. The Rocket 3 is like riding a Supercharged Valkryie. With tuning and cat delete and exhaust mine dynoed at 147 hp and 152 ftlbs of torque, thats at the rear tire. Honda needs to wake up, the VTX is out gunned by everyone. The 109R, the Rocket, VMax, and the VROD.
Let's see you ride it. The wankish burning rubber thing is giving me the zzzzzs. I wanna hear that beautiful machine roar down the road with those pipes. (yawn)
Search for turbo rocket 3 and see what they sound like with a gig arse Garret turbo on one, plus tripple the rear wheel hp and torque go along with that too :) search turbo rocket 3 and see :)
