Default New Rocker Bikes

Wondering if anyone on this forum has ridden it yet as a trial. I sat on one at the dealer here and it has a very hard seat and I am 6' and the seat is too wide for me. It appears to be just a run around bike not for long rides over a hour or hour in a half. The rear seat is very small and only a rider that is possibly a 100 to 125 lbs could fit on it. The way that itlooks is that it is for the younger age to try and lure them away from the crotch rocket style bikes. Any one else have information. I was told that no after market seats are availbale now.

I saw people test riding them at the OBX rally. Looked more suited to smaller people front and rear to me...

A guy showed up at Bike Night last week on one, so I talked to him. His wife hated the seat!!! He just got it a month ago, and wants to trade it in already. Said the ride was nice, but the seat sucked and there was no room for anything or any aftermarket parts.

I have a hard time with the looks of the seat and rear fender design.
Other than that it has some real nice features. The dealer sells them
before anyone has a chance to test ride them.

Oddly enough I took a picture of a chick riding a Rocker C at bike night last night. Is it me or does she dwarf that thing? I mean she was a big girl and all but the bike looks so small to me. I sat on one during Bike Week in Daytona. Didn't feel as right to me as my Fat Bob. I feel I definitely made the better choice for me personally.

The HD demo truck was in town last weekend, and I sat on a Rocker (I'm 6'3"). I got off immediately, it's not made for me. I chose a Night Rod Special to take out (fun bike, terrible exhaust note).

I rode one at LSR last year. It was a typical softail; not for me. It looked as if Hd was responding to OCC or something. I like certain elements of the design.

Either that's one big chick, or one small bike. Looks cool though,
