Default Breakout Vs Rocker

I'm a proud Rocker Owner.
I always see very few FXCW/C on the road compared to any other softy's out there.
Don't know the real reason behind it.

Atleast to me Rocker is the only bike that HD did which was close to a chopper.

Had a chance to test ride my buddy's breakout and man that new bike ride's awesome...

Come to think of it how many rocker owners will ditch their's to go for a breakout?

The way things are going, it looks like you will be seeing a breakout or slim at every stop-light. I would hang on to the rocker.

I bought my breakout because I wanted a rocker with a heartland kit. It was cheaper than buying a used rocker and adding a heartland kit. The rocker is a great bike. There wouldn't be a breakout if there hadn't been a rocker imo

No intention of selling it or trading it for anything.
Since I still have the first and only other Harley I've ever owned, I can say it with a degree of certainty.

The Rocker with the right mods is actually a nice bike. Very nice. You just have to ditch that rear fender and seat. But a stock Rocker vs a stock Breakout? I'd take the Breakout in a landslide.

Exactly the reason I waited and eventually bought a Breakout. When the Rocker first came out I was like "finally, a chopper/pro street inspired bike" until I saw that huge seat/fender gap and realized to make it look how I wanted it wouldn't be cost effective in the long run.

Exactly! The Rocker w/Heartland is BEAST but my Breakout is exactly what I wanted from the factory without having to make any major mods that were $$$$.

I think the folks who have Rockers are lucky that HD discontinued them because they are more collectible now and will hold their resale for years to come.
