Why have a 2300 cc bike if you can't dust off your buddies.
Doesn't matter what you buy, there's always something faster. In the old days, I built 396/427/454 Vettes. Nothing on two wheels ever came close. Now there are V8 bikes, and while their brute force acceleration is really intense, they won't keep up with even a stock factory Vette (or V8 Mustang) on the corners. The point is, the Rocket III is more than powerful enough and quick enough for most folks buying a touring bike. If you want more, and modding the Rocket isn't a consideration, it might be useful to consider a cage. Man, I used to love seeing the frustration on the faces of HD riders in my rearview mirror!
