i like the name Rocker over Crossbones...i just cant hear myself saying "i ride a crossbone". but then again i couldnt say "i ride a rocker" either.

I like the Cross Bones better but think it's a waste. People are going to drop $20k, then another $2-5k to get it looking like a real bobber when they could have bought a custom made bobber for less than $20.

but theyre both Harley's so i cant "hate" either one. everyone likes something different!
just my $0.02

MSRP is $16,795 And as for dropping another 2 - 5 grand. to get just what they want, it seems like that's pretty much what most people are doing now any way.

Looks like the CB is a good place to start a custom, lots of character already.

Cross Bones over Rocker for sure!
However, I think a few minor modifications to the Cross Bones wouldn't hurt (ie: rounded rear fender with a tombstone tailightand maybe low buckhorn bars, drag barsor beachbars).....I'd keep the front fender the way it is, but with a larger tire.....other than that......not a bad lookin' bike. I really like the 1940ish retro styling. That's just one man's opinion!

RE: rocker vs. cross bones
Its gonna go the path of the streetrod, the only people who likethem will be the ones riding em. Both are fugly machines.I predictlike the SR the Rocker aint gonna be produced over a couple years at most...
BTW what dork thinks up the names of these things? I would have to be a gay pirate to say my bike was called a crossbones.
Stupid people at Harley, either they think up a stupid name or produce a ugly ride... Have they not ever heard of thinktanks and public opinions?

This may not be a scientic sample, but it looks like HD is in trouble with the Rocker sales wise and not just because of the economy.

If these were the only 2 models available, I would pick the cross bones. Otherwise neither.
