A buddy of mine really liked the Rocket until he saw the pics in that auction. I have to agree. I don't really likeit now. But my final judgement will be when I see/ride it in person.
Also, my guess is that this auction is from someone that ordered it previously and realized they wanted to make a few bucks off of it when it finally came in. Either that or a dealer is trying to take advantage of the situation.
