Default No Rocker in 2012 ?

My local dealership mentioned that there isn't going to be any Rockers for 2012. Anyone else know about this ?

The X Bones is already done...stopped production mid year...what's on the floor is what you have to choose from..not sure when the Rocker production will end.

Ya, there's been a few threads on it. It's fine by me, I've got mine. It's a love it or hate it bike that Harley was very proud of. They have a section of the museum in Milwaukee dedicated to the development which is pretty amazing, especially to someone who owns one of these bikes! Who knows, in 20 yrs or so these things might fetch big money. If not, that's fine too.

Bah, this means nothing. The Moco will do like the rest and just bring it back in a year or two to increase the hype and get more that wish they bought one to pull the trigger.

Just another marketing ploy.
