I think all the negative comments about the Rocker is because it is so different. I actually like the style (not that I plan on buying one) but it would not surprise me if if does draw some folks to HD that never were interested before.

I don't like the rocker, but hope it sells well. If it sells well that willencourageHD to keep putting out new models and pushing the envelope with their designs. Eventually then, they'll come out with a new model I actually like and I'll have something cutting-edge to add to my stable.

RE: Rocker
I think the bike is fine and it doesn't hurt for HD to come out with new styles every once in awhile. I don't think they are having trouble with the fenders, seats....or any part of the bike.
I think the major player here is the market......the current shape of the market is just plain trashed. Housing market is in the dumps, cars and motorcycles are in the dumps as well, and along with overall shopping habits of Americans.
The market has slowed waaaaay down and motorcycling interests have slowed down as well. In my opinion, Harley has just slowed down production somewhat.

RE: Rocker
Harley's Rocker has had lots of exposure in magazines and online. It's too bad the Motor Company can't get their act together, ship the bikesand take advantage ofthe momentum. One dealer I visited said the Rocker won't ship until January, when the factory can supply each and every dealer three bikes.

RE: Rocker
The bike would be out now if they werent having problems.A little birdy told me the fender /seat issue was the problem.It has nothing to do with market slowdown-its a liability issue.It seems the moco thinks people wouldnt like it if their passanger put enough weight on the seat to collapse the rear fender.
