well, i looked and bought a rocker c. after test riding the rocker. i went home, got on the internet just to see if i could find another seat. the original seat "sucks". anyway located a "danny gray/weekday solo w/gel pad". perfect fit and really comfortable seat. love my rocker!! p.s. i also own a 2010 goldwing trike for the wife and me. HD should market the rocker as a solo bike and do away with the 2 up seat. somebody will get hurt on that seat.....nbl

HD will not be marketing the Rocker C anymore being that the 2011 is the last model year of production. To all that say the bike rode like crap, I have to disagree. I thought the bike handled really well and that huge 240 rear tire grabs and hugs the road. I guess I'm use to riding sport bikes however. The Rocker C is definately not for long hauls however, but I don't think that was its intended purpose anyway. Still love my bike though.

before I even bought my first bike, I saw a Rocker at an HD dealership and thought it was awesome. Then I looked at the price tag and thought "are you f'ing KIDDING ME?!?!"

Never gave it a second thought after that, honestly.

Harley Davidson took a chance and originally designed the Rocker for a very sensitive niche market. The Gay and Lesbian riders, but even they thought it was "Too Gay"

The Rocker brought me into HD and I have no plans to sell it. Granted, even the Rocker C off the floor needed work and I spent the money to straighten it out but what I really like is that you never hardly see a Rocker. I just came from the HD Museum last nite where they introduced the new 2012 models. There were 100's of bikes there and I saw 2 Rockers. Not interested in riding a bike that I see constantly with the only difference being a few shiny peices. When I want the feel of riding a motorcycle with the wind in my face I take the Rocker. When I want a soft lazy ride I take my 2003 Heritage Springer. I plan to keep both and add to the stable over time.

Different strokes....
