Hi all..havent posted in a while.....a question to the collective wisdom........if money was no object would you buy a Rocket or a Dark Horse and why? Interested in hearing from owners of both bikes as well as to your experiences....ta

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead
Do not walk ahead as I may not follow.
Do not walk beside me as the path is narrow
In fact FU*K off and leave me alone
I'd look at one of the big bore Victorys as well.
I prefer the Indian Scout. Spend the change on a supercharger for it

I do! Never ridden one but F-me they are a fine looking ride in their naked form (my preference for bikes is naked) the 1400 custom. Wheels are beautifully machined and there are nice little treats as your look at it. For the price I am surprised people choose a HD over the Guzzi. And it is OK to have leather tassels on a Guzzi too.

On paper the Triumph looks a lot better.
For 10kg more you get bigger brakes, water cooling, more powerrrrrrrr, better 2up and by the looks I'd say you'd get more lean angle, which may or may not be a factor at all for that style of bike.
Looks like more of a bruiser than the Indian too.
I've owned a spada and bought one of the first 3x 1100 Cali's in 1995. I can honestly say it only let me down once, {pushrod end collapsed} and I ride 365 a year, ANd lived deep doon sooth. The new 1400 is a tempter for me in the future. As an aside, in 94/95 a USA 'heavy iron' bike magazine actually voted the Cali 1100 as the 'BEST HARLEY', it paraphrase "out harley'ed the harley in every way, torque, comfort, handling, stopping, reliability and look.
Guzzi's get under your skin, everytime I go bike shopping, I always look to see what is around in the form of a Mandello del Lario machine that's available.
Only 'anti' proviso is avoid the 4 valve head bikes older than 2014, there was an issue with the flat end tappets wearing out fast on many bikes... manufacturing/design/ hardness issue, the later ones have a roller system instead.

The triumph would fall into the category of nice bike but "once bitten never again suckers". INHO Triumph NZ are a bunch of theiving cunts.
I do like the looks of the Indian, very tasty bit of kit.
Just another leather clad Tinkerbell.
The Wanker on the Fucking Harley is going for a ride!
How about getting a motorcycle instead?
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
My opinion is go with the rocket.This sort of bike is something you can sit back in years to come and say"i owned one" not just another v twin and nothing else is like it on the planet!That alone is the reason to buy!!!!

It does! I struggled with the styling when they first came out and now find it kind of appealing (if after a power cruiser for want of another term) I think it may have been slightly ahead of the ball when released now there are new releases with bits of similar styling clues in them so it looks less radical.
One of Ducatis biggest sellers in NZ - so well picked up here.
