I've seen a Rocket III at Firebird Raceway in Phx,Az.Local shop took it down there on track day.I guess for as big and heavy as they are they handle good.Been on a few rides with Rat and they seem to handle ok from what I could see and yes they are FAST!!!! One ride we went on a kid on a Electra Glide swore up and down he was going to get a R3 after that ride.We were in the mountains and all the Triumphs could leave him with no problem.He was not a happy camper on his big old $26,000 Hog. His hole family all has Harley so I dought he'll ever switch over.He could have bought two or three Triumphs for what he paid for that Harley.One day----opps.
