I'd buy one. Always room for another bike in the stable. The Rocker is a unique bike and very cool. Great ride too from what I've heard. Never ran across anyone who's talked bad about the ride.

To each there own. I like the look of the bike when owners change the seat; it cleans up the look. But I do not like the name they gave the bike. When I hear or read the name. I think of some one wearing a taddered jean jacket with an 80's heavy metal band patch on the back, mullet with frosted hi-lites, with those sunglasses with the leather sides. I don't know call me crazy. I digress.

I like the bike, but dislike the name.

I'm 44 and have a 08 Rocker C and I LOVE it. Looks custom but rides/handles great. Made a few simple changes - FXCW seat, Apes etc - and its everything I could want and more. Every now and then I'll hit a really bad pothole ( Jersey has lots ) and it reminds me that I'm riding a bike with limited suspension but thats rare.

I'm 44 and love my Rocker-C. I agree with everyone else, put a different seat on. It will look better and be a lot more comfortable. I went with the Danny Gray seat just like a lot of the guys on here. Also, lift the front of the tank. I added a 2" lift and it really changes the profile of the bike.

I don't think you'll find any owners unhappy about their purchase.
I've put about 5,000 miles on my 08, and I love it.

I'm 45 and love my Rocker. Have two sporsters 2005 (mine) and 2009 (my wifes) that I use when riding with my wife, love it. But when I'm by myself it's Rocker all the way, It looks awesome, everybody has to ask something. The most important think is that you love your ride, I use both bikes to go to work at least 2 or 3 times a week and ride every weekend. WHATEVER YOU'LL GET...ENJOY YOUR RIDE. AND RIDE, RIDE, RIDE...
