So I went to the local dealer to get a look at yalls craze over the Rocker 2.0 and of course they didn't have one on the store. Anyhow got to talking to a buddy of mine that's been working there since Id guess they've been making Harley's. he said this is the only year they're making the Rocker 2.0. I laughed and he gave me a stare. I told him I already knew he was crazy but now it's full blown. If this forum is any indication MoCo is having to find banks with bigger vaults to fit all the money they're raking in and when's the last time you heard of them turning down a profit. Anyhow, thought I'd post it incase there is some scheme to take if off the market a few years to make everyone run out and buy one (which I doubt) but I try to pass on any info I pickup along my rides
As an owner of one I hope they don't stop making it, at least yet. If they kill it off after one year it will hurt our choices of customizations and options from 3rd party.
IE: I am hoping someone makes a nice seat for it other than Harley's Sundowner, and if they kill the bike off it won't be worth it for Mustang/C&C/etc to spend the time on R&D. And clearly corbin spent NO time on R&D for that hideous monster they made.
Long as it sells it will stay around. Stopped at a dealer to see one in the flesh for the first time recently and they had a red one. Salesman said it was sold as soon as it hit the floor like they all are and would be picked up the next day.
they did that with the softail CVO convertible too - but that was due to doo doo sales figures for that thing
there is ZERO chance the MoCo is killing off the breakout
LOL! The CVO softail convertible ran from 2010 through 2012 and getting upgrades every year. It is the only softail I've ever heard of having fly by wire throttle and cruise control.
