MY OPINION...
The Rocker & Rocker C is butt ugly. It's a sad and late attempt to capture the "chopper" market from the so-called custom builders. The bike looks dated and designed for the "mid-life crisis / look at me" crowd. Did Harley pull Arlen Ness away from Victory for help on this one?
By the way, my bike is blacked out with Apes...way before Harley startedselling them like that. It's both good looking (again, my opinion) and comfy. But then again this topic is about the Rocker, so back to it...

While it wouldn't swap my Fatty for one, I'm obviously in the minority when I say I like the Rocker. It is different, but what is wrong with that? I thought we were all supposed to be rugged individualists here? (You know, as long as we talk, think, act &dress the same way and ride the same style of bike...lol) I saw the Rocker at the local bike show back in January, and liked what I saw. Not my cup of tea, but then again neither is the Ultra Glide. However I can find something to appreciate about most bikes, Harley or not. To each his own I say. It would seem to me there are alot of new Rocker owners on here, so I wouldn't say the design has been a total dud. My 2 cents...

Offering opinions here. We're not Harley Davidson shareholders deciding on the fate of the bike. Nor are these guys telling Rocker owners to get rid of their bikes and conform. A lot of people are just stating that they don't like the bike. Take no offense unless you find it necessary to receive acceptance to live life.
Hey, certain people don't like Apes, remember? Big deal.
If the Rocker does well, we'll see more of it. If not, enjoy your collectable.

Just saw one the other day in Person. First one I've seen in Europe. Had a billion people crowded around it. They all seemed to love it.
Looked nice. I like that hidden seat thing, that's pretty convienient. Plus the *** is nice. *** is real nice. No clue what the problem is? I thought it was sweet lookin' as hell.
Good on ya dude. Enjoy the ride.

RE: So dissapointed,...
Give it some time.
Once the aftermarket people get geared up, you can bet some sweet mod's will come out.
I can remember the same thing being said about the Deuce when it first came out... It turned out to be a pretty sweet bike.
I agree that in it's OEM configuration it could use some work, but that's just my opinion.
If you own a Rocker or intend to buy one. Take pride in it and ride the hell out of it.... keep us posted.

I was just stating my opinion about the Rocker, it wasn't a personal attack on anyone that owns one... They're all motorcycles, ride 'em...
