Looks jap to me.

Oh I don't know, Big Radius pipes, solo seat, apes, and a couple othermods, if this bike was cruising by at first glance you wouldn't think so. It's part of the wannabe a Harley crowd. Yes it's a rice burner, I won't say that is a "Jap" because that term is pretty offensive to some especially to Americans with Japanese heritage or background. And i'm pretty sure we have them here... if I had the money I myself wouldn't buy it.

so shortening japanese to jap is offensive, but saying they burn rice for fuel is ok? i guess i don't see the logic there. not offended by either btw.

Referring to someone as a "Jap" is just as derogatory as using the "N" word.

RE: rocker/raider

Hmmm, wonder if the 113" motor puts out as much heat as a HD 96"?

Ifn I had the cash I would like to have one as a second bike, it appears to have a good engine that can be built around...

I started this thread to get others opinions and tobe very truthful i don't care for either scoot i think the moco has discontinued models that had alot more appeal the springer and duece and the wide glide and please correct me if i'm wrong but i think the 105 ann. wide glide is the last year for the model.

Well, it looks kind of like a "Rocker", except that it doesn't look like crap, and doesn't sound quite so much as though it was named by some pinhead marketroid trying to appeal to the under 25 crowd.

And HD should take a lesson from Yamaha here and get the line of the tank right on the "Rocker".
