This is moving in the right direction. A more comfortable bike with an excellent motor. Pretty much a Road King with power and liquid cooled durability. However a proper touring bike needs a real fairing (like the Streamliner Corbin produces), with a radio and tourpak. I was so impressed with it's ability to go, stop, and handle, I'm getting one and will add these things. Maybe these will be a part of Triumph's accessory list.
Nice pix ... and very nice Rocket! am getting one for a weekend test. Any hints before I charge into my first corner atop what looks like 3 tonne of bike. To start - i figure INCREDIBLY smooth throttle is best way to keep both wheels planted.
