Re: Has ANYONE seen a Rocker yet?

Rode one a couple of weeks ago at a Harley Test Ride event at a local dealer. Very smooth riding. With the forward controls, short riders will not like it. Biggest complaint I had was with the short seat I kept feeling like I was going to slide off the back every time I accelerated. This would be a good bike for riding to your favorite watering hole, but likely not one you would want to ride long distances. The "C" model with its chrome is definitely nicer looking than the standard Rocker with its painted surfaces.

Talking Re: Has ANYONE seen a Rocker yet?

they have too much going on in one bike these days with the rocker and on other newer bikes as well (sorry if you own one). like putting spring seats back on bikes. they just don't always work "the new versus the old that is" in my opinion at least these seats on the rocker and the others look like your riding a bar stool down the road; and wait till you see what they look like when you add the passenger seat to the rocker ha ha. Its a booster chair no longer bar stool. i have seen the rocker at my work didn't like it much but then again i dont like the v-rod either. when i see a bike like these i think that a 5 year old designed them. something from back to the future. they have really missed the look of a harley. the looks that have brought them this far.
