However if you read these boards there are lots of haters...LOL... Anyway I love the way my bike rides solo but if you have someone you love that wants to ride with you, hands down the fatboy is your choice. The rocker seat is just not good for anything further than say 60 miles, unless you drop another $2500 or so for a heartland kit....

I have to agree 100% here. A lot of people post negative comments on the rocker but I've never had anyone put my bike down and it shows very well. I didn't build it up for that, but it is nice to see what people think. Must be a lot of closet Rocker lovers out there. LMAO! Anyway those are two very different bikes. If you plan on doing a lot of long distance riding and want to take a LOT of stuff with you, the Rocker probably is not your best choice. On the other hand, If you like the fat tire look and don't mind compromising practicality a little then go for the Rocker. It rides and handles surprisingly well ( I passed my license test on mine which amazed the instructors) Either way, you can't go wrong with a Harley!

I put a deposit on my bike and waited from July 2007 when HD announced the Rocker C would be coming that fall, (yah right) until May 2008 for my bike.

The only reason I decided to buy a harley was for the Rocker. I love the big @$$ tire and the look of it on the road. And my bike has got alot of my friends into riding motorcycles who werent interested at all before I had the Rocker.
