RE: So dissapointed,...
Haven't seen one in person yet. In some pics, I think it looks great, in other pics things don't flow smoothly according to my eye. But I had the same impression of the Street Bob. When I first saw a pic of the Bob, I thought it looked horrible, then I went to a dealer andended up riding one for 12,000 miles. I have no problems with the Rocker. It's not even close to thetop 4 or 5"least appealing Harleys" as far as I'm concerned. Oh, and I like the V-rod too.

RE: So dissapointed,...
I was originally a bit of a fan... based on the photos and specs... but after seeing several at various car and bike events around Australia I too was very disappointed. I think there may be some ok ones after a few people get done with them though...
I originally was quite upset that they didn't bring it out a year earlier and said I've had bought one instead of my fatboy... but now... NO WAY JOSE!!

I actually really like the cast gray, looks different with less maintenance. Reminds me of titanium...

I think the cheap comments are focused more towards the Rocker, not the Rocker C. That cast silver or gray just doesn't look good, in my opinion. And hey, as said before, what I or anyone else thinks of your bike doesn't matter, as long is you like it. And like Saint said, maybe in time it will grow on me, afterall, the tank is off a Deuce.

i like the Rocker C, not my first choise, but definitely not my last either. i like it better than the cross bones for sure. i don't like the base model Rocker though. like others say, it just looks cheap. for being so similar, its funny how much i like the Rocker C and dislike the Rocker.
