Conclusion - what gets stuck

Cruisers there are many, all the Harleys, Indians and even the Gold Wing can not go unnamed. The Rocket is a very peculiar reinterpretation of the class. It is modern and at the same time stuck to old values, delivering records without offensively putting them in the shop window.

It's just there. Like single malt whisky – it could be without, but what?

The test bike was provided to us by Q-Bike in Hamburg.
