Default Opinion: Rocker C Future

I've seen some opinions on here about the Rocker and know it didn't get a general approval from the HD community...do you think we'll see another production run in a few years? Or are the 08's-11's the last of the new runs?

I'm no fortune teller but unless the chopper craze comes back I doubt we'll see any more.

I'm not sure what the Rocker's future is I know I'm glad I own one. But I would love to see something new like a Night Train with a 240 back tire.

I'll second that. Even the crossbones would look pretty sick with a rear 240.

Congrats on the ride bro, I bought mine when the 09's first started to roll out around late September...back in 08. You know.... it's funny how
some people still walk up to ya and ask, what kind of Harley is that?

Thumbs up Rocker, a part of history

Glad I was able to get one before they were all gone. As it was I had to do alot of searching to find mine. Most people that see it ask if it's a custom...
BTW: Sometimes controversy breeds innovation...


Ride Safe,
TIILM

Opinions are like a$$ holes.... Eveyones got one!

The only approval the rocker needs is yours...

Hope not. If they decide bring the NT back then bring it back as it was or let it rest.

No regrets will never get rid of it. I still get conversations at traffic lights after 3 years of owning one...I love the fact that I had to do some modifications and aftermarket parts to get it where I wanted it. Alot of great online Rocker brethren here who make this motorcycle great.
