Default Rocker = Badass!

Wow, the new Rocker and Rocker Custom are amazing looking stock bikes. Only thing I dont like is the weird 2-up on the Custom. My new favorite off the show room floor bike for sure, besting the Night Train imo. Well done Harley...well done.

That 49mm stretched front end, and stock 240mm rear tire look good the way the bike is set up.

I might have to visit a dealer and see what they look like in person.

It's amazing to me how much it resembles the Sportster.

VERY SHARP BIKE!!!!

The one thing I did notice from the rear-end perspective...... the tank does not carry the width or line of the tank from an aft view......

looking forward to seeing one in person! maybe it was just perspective??

According to the website they don't hit the showroom floor until September. I'm not sure if I like it or not. I'll see when I see it in person.
