Although I haven't riden a Rocket, talking to those who have, they said it handles pretty darn good for such a big bike. It's Triumph, what can you say. They're bikes are great. One of the reasons I got my America. No matter what crowd you may run with, it's a well respected machine. The only ones that may give grief are the weekend-only HD riders, and that's only because they don't know crap.

2005 America, green/gray, gutted stock pipes, tall sissy bar w/ luggage rack, Saddleman's dual touring seat and Tourmaster saddlebags (and sissybar bag).
