But I freaking love it". Contrary to what most people would expect, the in line three was really really quick,i remember reading that they had to limit it to prevent people from hurting themselves. The Uncle never had any problems keeping up with our crotch rockets, in fact, gave us a run sometimes. Haha
The Rocket III is pretty bad ass. While my Daytona is no Rocket III when is comes to torque there is something to be said for 3 cylinders. You get the low end torque of a twin and the high rpm horsepower of a in line four.
