I am holding my opinion until I see it in person.

the metal piece on the peg is sort of like a curb feeler. it drags on the ground before the peg does

I agree with a lot of the comments so far. They can send that oil tank back to Yamaha and loose the Jenna Jameson collection speedometer. Part of me wants to say that the flip-out seat could be a good idea, but the bikes profile just doesn't look right for two riders so why bother?

Having said all that, I really like the swingarm/fender getup. I think we'll all be happily surprised when people finally take delivery of their bikes and start "personalizing" them. There's a lot of potential there.

Yep . . . Sorry folks. I just don't see it. I guess from the back it looks ok . . . except for that diving board seat. That thing is just beyond ugly!!
The overall line is wrong. It's too short and squaty looking. They started with the right idea. Make it long n' low.

Maybe in person it's better than the pics. But I doubt it. If you want a newer look from Harley, I think the Fatbob is the best looking Harley they've made in awhile. It looks tough.

The Rocker looks ok...

The Rocker C looks like someone smoked too much "creativity" in the design dept..[:'(]

I think it looks fine,just not something I would purchase.

I don't think the back seat looks any worse then most back seats.

Personally I think Yamaha makes nice looking bikes.
