Default The Rocker Sucks

I can't even express how disappointed I am in the moco. The Rocker is a lame attempt to keep up with Big Dog, American Iron Horse etc.Harley Started it all why are they being such *****'s and not attacking. Lead the pack. These f@#%'s are following. And doing a sh!@#$y job of doing so. just my opinion. M.

I feel like they should of thought out the whole rear section bettermyself. They need to do somthing about the space between the seat and rear fendermay be some metal fab work were the fender can move up inside the fabrication around the bottom of the seat . Oh then the outher one with that ugly *** seat thats the lamest thing in a long time.

I thought it was lame when I saw that it had the narrow XL forks.

You may not like the bike, but Harley will sell a ton of them; their research has shown that the baby boomersmarket has peaked and is on the downside and the "hipper, new school"children of the baby boomers are theirnew targetmarket. They are one of the most well (and smartest)marketed co's in the world. They market not just motorcycles, but a lifestyle, and have the accessories available to sell you to live up to the lifestyle. They've marketed logo rights for scads of other companies,changed all the dealershipsto a standardized "emporium" format,etc,etc.. I think the average Harley owner nowhas an income of $78K a year........a far cry fromthe image of the nomad riding his bike through the deserts, alaEasy Rider.Not a bad job for a company that was staring bankruptcy in the face not so many yearsago. And, the best part is, with all that savvy marketing strategy, they manage to buildbetter, more reliable bikesthan they ever have.
