It’s a badass looking bike. But $29,000 is out of my league.

Wow! I priced a Rocket III not too many years ago and they were in the mid to upper teens. |

Its a custom ...750 made worldwide and only 250 coming to the US. The 2300cc model will still be produced. I read about it yesterday. Cool bike .

Is there a bracket for mounting a spare rear tire?

Not much passenger room on that thang. that was my first though, pricing the 2nd. I would never ever spend over 10K on any cycle new or used just do not drive them enough cross country to spend that kind of dough. I see those new goldwings for over 22K and then some then think that is more than I spent on my new car which is able to drive year round vs. only 6 months on a cycle. A used goldwing under 10K will easily do anything a new goldwing will do over 20K in price. |

May be good for some people , but damn , 2500cc ? Who needs that much power ? Maybe on the track , but not on the highway . 1100 to 1500 cc is plenty of power for highway . Just my opinion , I can't see spending that amount for new technology that goes beyond extreme for highway conditions . Bigger is not always better and getting too carried away with that much power can be suicide .

No doubt this machine has more than sufficient horses to maintain cruising speeds but, that ain't why one would buy such a monster. Being a fan of Tim Taylor's show Tool Time, I can easily see one in his or my shop. My banker doesn't agree but, he doesn't really understand.  Not a real fan of that rear end styling but, if I had the cash, thinking I could learn to live with it. The real problem in my mind is the scarce dealership support. There just ain't that many Triump dealers out there. Rams |

I could see it being pretty useful on a two lane road in...the Outback....in my younger days A Suzuki 1150ES and back roads around Dallas were a lot of fun...lucky to live thru that mostly due to loose pets
