Default Finally saw a Rocker in person. Blah.

Went to the Motorcycle Show here in Edmonton last night and they had a Rocker and Rocker C

I think anyone who bought / will buy the Rocker will be highly disappointed at its looks. Looks very plastic-y and cheap with that flat grey on everything.

The Rocker C does look better with some chrome on the Rockers greyed out pieces but the rear end / swing arm looks... wrong... Almost like its an after thought. Looking at the bike from the rear it just doesnt look "right"?

Anyone else seen one in person? What did you think?

I saw it and sat on it at the bike show in Long Beach. The Rocker C is different, not your classic Harley. This bike is made to basically say "I am different" in a Harley kind of way. Personally I like it. If you don't, thenget any ofthe classic ones, plenty of them. It'd be a cool addition to my FB

What's wrong with this rear end??




Junior loves it.

I like the "C" model, and am thinking about picking up one (in Black of course) to add to the 'fleet'....

But theproduction delays have taken so long it's almost time for thenext years model to be released, so I'll probably wait and see if they have madeany changes..

I like the looks of it from the rear other than that cheesy passenger seat sticking out in mid air..

I love the look, but like springerbadboy said cheesy passenger seat, i cant see any passenger riding on that for more than a couple miles . perfect for the single rider though & very cool lookin . as far as riding the girlfriend or wife though, she will never ride again or be riding with your best friend. LOL easy way to get divorced. Bob

...even the name "Rocker" screams RUB poser. Looks cheap. The oil tank, looks like a yamaha, or honda, fake plastic garbage.
