    What???? BMW vs Rocket, lol

    What a weird choice for comparison, I would guess written by a non rider, silly fluff.

    Intro music ROCKED!
    "Head to Head", my ass! Where was the drag race?
    The journo actually stated the Beemer was, "stunning to look at" and "you'll never get tired of the way it looks" - RUBBISH!
    JMHO

      There is no comparing these two.

        I'v seen the beemer. It is butt ugly and uncomfortable to boot. Wana big lazy cruiser go Harley. Wana performance cruiser go Rocket or Valkyrie or Kawasaki Vulcan or Indian.

          The headline Head to head | BMW R18 vs Triumph Rocket 3 | Which big cruiser is best?

          made the rest of the article of no importance to me. Anyone who calls himself a writer but doesn't know the difference between comparative and superlative does not deserve to be read.

          Aint that write barbagris ?

            While the comparative case would probably be the more common usage, I'm not sure the superlative is technically incorrect. 😬

          While the Triumph Rocket 3 may well be described using superlatives, and the BMW R18 may well be described, as the author is comparing only two different bikes, the comparative should be used. That is why it is impossible to put your best foot forward, but it is possible to put your better foot forward.

          I hate being a grammar nazi, but it's my all my mother's fault - I was bottle fed.

            I looked it up, it is incorrect, you were right. Rockets are definitely the goodest, though.

            I have been pondering the Caliph's response. In the case of idk - it may well be the goodie-est. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goodies

            Well, you can ferment them both.

            Then you definitely won't have a tail.
