Hey, I don't discriminate. I think the V-Rod sucks, too.

If the Harley family can accept something as different as the V-Rod, there is no reason why the Rocker can't be accepted.

The Rocker is just as practical as any other Pro Street bike or Chopper. The whole purpose of the bike was to build something that would take the market share back from the custom bike builders. You don't see people taking long trips on a chopper, and you won't see many people doing it on the Rocker either. It's an "around town" bike. If someone is wanting a bike to do some longer rides on, a different Harley would be the way to go. It might not even be that bad for the driver, but no way would it be good to do a long trip with a passenger on that thing. I'd almost guarantee you there are companies out there now trying to copy the seat on the Rocker so they can be used on Choppers and other Pro Street Bikes. It's a solo bike with a passenger option. That's how the seat should be utilized. If the Harley family can accept something as different as the V-Rod, there is no reason why the Rocker can't be accepted.

Thats about all that seat is designed for is to " just get her home" And hopefully, home aint to far away, cuz from the looks, it cant be very comfortable.

Just imagine you're a single guy rollin' up to Hooters for a Bike Night. You roll up on your custom looking bike that turns heads (whether you like the bike or not, you'll still look at it). Some cute broad walks up and starts talkin' to you. At the end of the night, you really wanna take this chick home and she's willing. However, she's disappointed because you only have a solo seat on the bike. Oh, but wait..... You lift up your seat and pull out the passenger seat and now she has a place to sit. The two of you ride off and the rest is history.

I might not run out and buy one, but if one of my riding buddies wants to then so be it. I won't stop riding with him. Hell, as a matter of fact that might just give me a chance to see one up close or even ride one before I start bad mouthing.

RE: The Rocker Sucks
Like I said earlier. The major thing about harley riding has allways been defining yourself with your bike, The "I built It" factor.
I personnely have never owned or would ride a stock looking Harley, maybe for a couple of months just to get the exact idea started, and once I finish it I'll ride it for a while and decide to change it again, and again,..... With all harleys the thing that differentiates us from them is the individuality of each others bike. We have so many options for doing so much to these, its a shame every time I see a stock bike over 3 years old. (except for cherried out classics) The rocker is a great starting platform. I would def. buy it once I crash my latest.
Those buying a stock bike and putting 10k in 5 years on it like most I see nowadays. And then trying to sell it once you have decided its time and expecting to get back most of your money. Ride it like you stole it, fix it, crash it, survive, and get the insurance check and do it again, and again.

The Duece is an ugly bike.
Baggers are ugly.
V-Rods suck.
Sportsters are girls bikes.
So is the Deluxe.
Dyna's are wimpy.
See a pattern?
That's why we have blondes, brunettes, redheads, ect..............
To quote Suicidal Tendencies;
"Just cause you don't understand what's going on
don't mean it don't make no sense
And just cause you don't like it,
don't mean it ain't no good."

RE: The Rocker Sucks
best looking H-D made to date....anything with a skinny rear tire(less then 240) is old school...im ready for something new....
really cant see why anyone would start a "rocker sucks" thread....sounds like jealousy to me?...who knows.
Im just glad I got the first blue C model coming....add a 240 to any of your bikes and the cost would be far more then Ill be paying at MSRP....
as for seat.....I hate anything else but solo seats,but they suck when your grabbing some young hotty on bike night...rocker has this covered,finally a bike with best of both worlds....who could ask for more...longest length of chrome on a list(other then CVO) at this price...come on guys,stop being jealous or just get with this century ....lol.
its about time H-D got with the current trends!...thank you!
lucky we all can ride what we want...to each his own!

RE: The Rocker Sucks
my 200mm on my fatty is just fine
tho I agree the Rocker is rather nice... only thing I am not convinced of is the gas tank..
I want to see in person before I judge ... condem or drool
most likely drool on
I told one of the sales guy at my local I want to see one in person, the 2 hes got comming to the dealer are already sold but he said i could be there for the uncrateing setup
hes gonna call me as soon as its there
