Man, I'm glad I'm not the only one..I do like the satin look though, big rear tire, Nice way to take a deuce and screw with a good thing. How can they think that thing looks remotely like a custom. Hey what do I know, to each his or her own I guess.

Let me back up on that last statement. I don't want to step on anyone's dream of owning a piece of the HD pie. I know that there are a lot of people who are more liken to the classic look of a Harley Davidson. Times are a changin. This could and hopefully be a huge thing for Harley, and when the Rocker does become a huge success, you will look back and laugh at Big John for his statement.

So to all the Rockers out there, I apologize for my insensitivity.

Had the opportunity to take a Rocker C out for a 30 min spin this past weekend.

Overall not a bad bike, handles quite nice in the twisties; forward controls are nice that way. I do drag the boards quite often on my bike; actually thinking about converting to forward controls because of this.

Stock seat was not all that comfortable pinched the crown jewels a little once in a while; would have to get a different seat.

Ride is solid, so are the shifts of the 6-speed. Bike seemed somewhat more nervous then what I'm used to; perhaps due to the narrow front wheel.

I just don't care for the looks of the rear with the fender attached to the swingarm.

I think if you want the hardtail look of a custom chopper you should just get one of those instead of turning a Softail into something it's not meant to be.

Doesn't even come close to my Fatboy in terms of comfort and style in my opinion, but then again everyone has to find the ride that meets their purposes and sense of style.

... my 0.02 worth.

I'm not sure why everyone is so down on these bikes, I mean when it comes down to it, there is only about 3 or 4 other models of HD that I would spend my money on anyway. But I'm not going to name them b/c my opinion of someone else's bike just doesn't matter.
