And, the only thing I don't like that much about this new Rocket is that the exhaust is a 3-into-2 setup, and whereas I think they should have kept the whole "Triple" idea/concept/theme going throughout the bike with a 3-into-3 looking muffler instead.






Dwight,

The new Rocket is a 3 into 3 system. Two pipes on the right and one on the left. Not a lot of photos of the left hand side though.




If that's true here Greg, then sorry to say that that would be even more disappointing to me, design-wise.

You see, I've never cared for the looks of an asymmetrical exhaust layout such as that, what with two on one side and only one on the other.

Nope, like I said earlier, I'd prefer something along the line of what Craig Vetter did with his restyled BSA Rocket-3 prototype/Triumph X-75 Hurricane, and when he kept all three mufflers on the right side.

(...yep, they should've just made that muffler on the right side of this bike with three exhaust openings instead of just two, and kind'a like what MV Agusta has done with their Brutale 800 triple)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
