Default Deciding between Rocker & Deuce

Well, my dealer also called and my blue Rocker C is in. Interestingly, my dealer also has a brand new leftover 07 Deuce available.

Not long ago, I test drove a Deuce and liked it very much. I especially liked the feeling of being in the bike vs. on it.

So now I have a decision to make! The dealer has been absolutely great by agreeing to hold both bikes for my decision on Saturday.

I will test ride the Rocker C on Saturday and then make my final choice between the two bikes. As I see it, there are certain advantages to each.

Any thoughts?

I don't think there is an advantage to owning either of them.
Personally I like the Rocker,never liked the Deuce................
I'd just take a good look at both,ride 'em and make your own decision.

The big difference is gonna be the ride on the Deuce's 160 tire vs the 240 (I think) thatis on the Rocker.

Styling is a matter of personal preference, but make sure you ride them both if the style seems a coin toss.

I'd go with the Deuce and ask Crazy Canuck where he got all the stuff he did to his bike. I think his Deuce looks better than the Rocker, in my opinion. I had a Deuce before the Custom I have now, and I LOVED that bike. I still miss it sometimes.

I would lowball offer on the leftover 2007. I know the dealer would want full price for the Rocker because they are in demand. But if the deuce was 2K under msrp with no fees, it would make the decision difficult.

You can actually buy custom stuff for the deuce today!
No custom stuff for Rocker for at least 6 months or longer.
I am very happy I cnxled my Rocker and built a custom Bobber.
I'd go with the Deuce

Wow, that may be one of the last "new" Deuces in the country then... That would be my choice, but then I am a bit biased!

I personally like the looks of the Deuce better. But that's my taste, not yours. I've never ridden a Rocker C so I can't say which one rides better.

I agree with WBOGLEY. If you're torn between the two go for the one you can get for a better deal. The dealers NEED to get rid of the 2007s. They have been paying floor plan interest on them since they arrived. You should be able to get a sweet deal on the 07 Deuce.

Enjoy which ever one you get.
