I also got confirmation on the same bikes from my dealership too. Some new ones are coming out to replace a few of them, but haven't been disclosed.

The short life of the Rocker is not surprising. I had one on order and luckily it never arrived. The first time I saw it my first thought was, "Oh what a cute starter bike,"

Partly what killed the Rocker to was the way the dealers where trying to jack you on the price. I had already got the vanity plate for one. But the dealer got stupid on the cost I said forget it, even after I just purchased a Street Glide. Needless to say I don't but squat from that dealer at all.

Heard the Rocker is gone, but the Rocker C will still be available. The fixed fairing will still be in the line up, but with the tour pack...Tour Glide.

I was at my dealer today and they told me the same thing. Now somebody help me out here. Tell me why they would discontinue the Night Train. It seems to me that they are rather popular correct? Maybe I am partial because I was considering a NT before I bought my Bones. Do I have the wrong perspective? Is the bike not as popular as I think it is? I was standing there looking at a Maroon 'Train when we were talking about it and I just could not believe they would discontinue such a great looking scooter. Blows me away. I'm sure there are others on that list that other people feel the same way about, I just don't know enough about the sales numbers to say.
