I don't have one, but I'd buy one. I like them a lot. Very unique ride, and very comfortable too. I'm only 35, so I can't say how a 40 year old will feel

I have an '09 and love it. Everything I wanted straight from Harley. Fat Tire, Slight Rake, Solo Look with the flip out seat for the wife. Rides beautifully !!! Dave

A guy we ride with sometimes has one. Awesome bike, he let me ride it once, but it seems to eat up the front tire kinda fast. Maybe its not balanced right or could be defective rubber in the tire.

My cousin and her husband both bought Rocker C's a couple months ago. I rode up to Seattle from Arizona and we all went riding. They love them. I liked them but wouldn't trade my Heritage for one but I like riding long distance and a Rocker is not made for that.

I love it. I am 60 and went on a 2300 mile ride with my son this summer to the North Carolina and Tennessee borders area (Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway. etc.). On the way back rode 932 miles in one day. Scrap the stock seat and get a different seat for more comfort on the longer trips. Have not regretted the purchase of it yet.

I dont like it at all. I like the idea of it(having a fixed fender to the rear swingarm that pivots), but I hate how Harley implemented it. A huge honkin gap between the seat and the rear fender kills the lines on the bike completely and the overly wide "drag tire" doesnt do anything either for its handling, even the Deuce fuel tank(which I think itself is poorly shaped)doesnt look very good itself, they should have used a traditional stretched fat bob tank in its place. Not to mention Harley cheapening up the crank assembly and transmission. Better choices for the money IMO.
