I've noticed that both the Rocker and the Cross Bones seem to generate strong feelings & opinions in people. Both seem to create a -love it or hate it- reaction. Its a little like listening to dems and republicans...

Get the one that best matches your riding style and/or personality.

Demo each and make your decision based on what feels right for you. I bought a Bones for the old school look and springer front end. Nothing against the Rocker I have seen some sweet ones.

As others have said.......It's a personal choice.
Demo both......and based on riding characteristics and your own personal preference for style, you will have your answer. One model will call to you to take her home.

I have a Rocker C which I customized with the Heartland kit. That's what I like, but this is not about me or anyone else.....it's about you.

Trust your own judgment...there is no right or wrong answer here. Diversity is what makes owning a Harley exciting.....it would be boring if we all liked the same thing.

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!!!

Both great bikes. I would go sit on em' both for as long as you can before you look like a freak at the dealership, then see if you cant get a demo ride prior to buying either.

I sat on that Rocker for a long time.....The key word was "On". I must be shaped funky as the tank seemed to low and the overall seating position struck me as kinda odd. Then again a stock X-Bones sits you straight up in the wind like Elvis crusing down the strip singing Viva Las vegas....

The photos of those tricked out rockers posted a few pages ago were pretty hot. For that much hawtness a guy could live with just about any seating position.

The Rocker seems to have penned out when those TV shows were making custom bikes so popular. That rocker looks like a 50K custom for a third of the price. The non-C model looks wierd as heck....Like Exile cycles gone wrong IMO. Why dont they make a dark cusom rocker? That would be sweeter than the indutrial plastic fantastic version. The bones looks old skool cool. Dang they are both pretty much hawt. Go ride them Sum-A-Bee-Yatches.

I love my cross bones, but this isn't about me, its about you, get what you want, think about what you are going to do with it, around town 1 up, or 2 up with longer rides with your hunny, think you might want saddle bags to carry stuff once in a while? Just things for you to think about. ( does sound like I'm pushing the cross bones a little LOL)
