I believe the Rocker is more customizable because the Cross Bones was designed as an Old School bike. I have seen Rockers with both Old School and New School looks, but have not seen a Cross Bones as such. I believe people buy it for its old school look and desire to keep it that way. I could be wrong though, I have been before.

My Vote would be for the Bones unless the Rocker has been modded a bit, a stock Rocker to me would cost me at least 3 Grand to get it like I want...

If there both stock the rocker hands down. The stock bones is nothen to brag about imo. Its on the verge of ugly.

If it was me i would go rocker no matter what.

my buddy has a rocker C. He has so many chicks cream'n their jeans for that bike. And his is completely stock, not even pipes. my bike doesn't even get noticed when Im out with him (sniff, sniff) and I've got a lot of $$ put into mine.
they both have thier pros and cons.
So my vote is, if you're a single guy, go with the rocker. chicks dig the rocker!!!
Or better yet just buy em both. You can borrow my money tree!!!

DON'T buy anything because of anyone elses opinion of its looks.
That's going to be YOUR decision based on what YOU want and like, not me or anyone else.


Personally I'm a bit old fashioned (probably becasue I'm an old fart) and would rather have the Bones.
I 'like' the overall look of the Rocker, and the ones I have ridden handle a lot better than I thought it would with that 240mm tire.
But they all have that damned ribbed aluminum oil tank in the middle that IMHO wrecks the overall look.
If they had used a flat slab sided steel oil tank and a more 'normal' speedo mounting I might be a bit more interested in one.
