Have not seen the Rocker yet, but I have seen Steven Tyler's line of bikes Red Wing or something at Nashua and Manchester NH Harley. They were not too bad

I haven't seen them in person yet and the eye appeal isn't there to make me run to the dealer to see one. IMO, its a poor attempt of so-called customization but its different strokes for different folks.

I think it's funny how the majority on HDF has a serious distaste for it's appearance. I really like the Rocker C. I had only seen them in the propaganda packets, and until coming here I liked them both. My only real complaint is the finish on a large portion of the bikes. I'm not a fan of that satin silver. For a "Custom" type bike, it should be offered in chrome, or painted to match. Pretty simple I think. But over all, I enjoy the fact that H-D came out with something that doesn't look like every other bike they sell. Don't get me wrong, I love my RK, but I guess my eyes aren't trained enough because ALL their touring bikes look nearlyidentical to me, leaving your choice of a "sporty" or a "dresser"... I know there's the Springer, and the Fatboy, and about half a dozen "touring" models, but visually, they are all really close.
