Has ANYONE seen a Rocker yet?

Wish I could Hobbit...but with 2 bikes already I have to wait till one is paid off, (few more months), and I move to a place I can fit another and build one too. Ministers have to work on a tight budget.

YES!!! Seen it, sat on it, started it and sold it!

We got one the first one last Thursday, her new owner signs his paperwork tonight and another is coming this week or next week.

I saw one today at Charlotte HD. Looks pretty but!! It's not for short people unless you're gonna do some serious lowering. The seat is too wide also, it's comfortable but too wide for a short person. The primary drive also sticks out so unless you have long legs, you're gonna be against it when at a stop. I wish they had put chrome rims instead of polished aluminum, but that's where they make the money. The handle bars are nice though.

I don't know... if it were me... and the only comment I could get from prospective buyers is... "the handle bars look nice"... I would think it's back to the drawing board time for the rest of the bike! LOL.

Seen the rocker at the Vancouver bike show. I can't say I really liked it . I guess it's just personal preferance!

I think they look like an extra parts bike. Almost like Harley asked the folks at Victory for fit & finish tips

.

I Can't believe they got rid of the Road King Custom to make room for this ! ! ! ! !

Somebody tell Willie G to stop drinking with Eric Buell in the design room !!!!

Looks a heck of a lot better on the HD video and pictures than it does when you get up close to the real thing.
When I first saw it in pics etc. I thought this is ok.
Then seen it in person and was disappointed.
Just my opinion.

Liked it in pictures, but when I saw it in Ocean City was not impressed. Everything has a flat grey finish. Forcing you to buy more chrome because it comes with little. No good if you are going to carry a passenger.

Everyone's heard about it... but nobody's seen one yet!

Jeff Bridges will no doubt want to make another movie.

Yeah the Tucker...my thoughts too...I've seen one, in Joplin Mo...not for me...
