Default RE: the rocker

it will sell out immed, but i bet in a two or three yr period, it will fade just look at the bobber, it has slowed down 50%, the market is flooded with those things, people like changes but until some are on the road and have been tinkered with its a wait and see thing it looks like two bikes welded together to me, but hey it may handle great

I looked at one today at my dealer.They are a large volume dealer,and it is not sold. To me the only thing I see wrong,is the gray "pot metal" components on the engine and trim.I think it would do much better if it was simply flat black.I just can't understand who approves these things.The design is fine,it's just the details that are wrong.
I agree. Finally got to see one in person. It was the basic model. The pot metal grey really looks crappy. There were some parts of the styling I liked. But it needs more chrome for sure. And the grey should have been either color matched with the bike, or black. Seems like the front of the tank should sit a little higher.........and that seat..............what the hell is that all aboout?? I think there's potential with this thing, but they better get on it fast, or get rid of it fast!
I saw both together at the International MC Show in Atl. There is no question that the C is much nicer than the plain Rocker. HD did a nice job with the rear wheel and fender. The one I saw last week in the Daytona showroom was very modified including lowered two inches. According to a guy from the HD Corporate they are on waiting lists all over and are out to March after the first deliveries last week in most dealers.
