I personally don't like it stock. That being said there are lots of ways to make it look better. I wouldn't mind owning one and making it my own.
Oh and those Rockers are ugly!!!! Just take a look at mine.

Lose the seat & install an oldschool rigid style seat with a thin pad on a real pan, change the front wheel and add a tank shifter and foot clutch...or build a bobber for alot less...

True that but being as they seemed to be trying to embrace the older harley look, the hinged fender is dated and I think would add to that old harley look. I don't think the bobber went with the springed pogo solo seat either. Mixed metaphors on the crossbones. Is it Bobber or old harley look. Which one?

I like the bike myself. I do not like the fenders and I wish they would have done something with metal under that seat instead of that cheap-looking plastic. But overall, I give it a B+ as stock and with very little work, they can look stellar.

My 09 Heritage has some accents taken from the bones. I would absolutely love the bones with some mods.......like others have stated, full rear fender like on the Heritage/Fatboy and get rid of that spring seat.
+1 on the pirate logo on the 09's oil tank. What were they thinking there?
Dig the upswepts GymRat.....looks good.

I like the front end, that's about it. Then again I don't trust anything that has fake pinstriping on it.

Aw, c'mon.
HD is trying to come out with something that is still very "Harley" but is still a new model, may appeal to a new HD buyer, and is still very customizable.
I'd say they nailed it with the Cross Bones. Like Bluzmn59, I'd give it a B+, maybe even an A-.
That said....yeah, the fenders......dood.
