the rocker can be a nice looking bike, but at nearly 20k it's hard for alot of people to put another 3k in aftermarket stuff... while for nearly 20k you can get and make any other softail look just as if not better looking.

I love my Rocker C, but I agree, the bike was priced too high and sales were not that great. I do get alot of attention from people and the bike is fairly unique among Harley riders when parked at events and rallies, but most people like the look of them and would not like to own the Rocker C. The Rocker C just didn't appeal to the masses like Harley thought they would, so the plug was pulled and they only had a short production run. They just didn't have the mass appeal of a Fatboy or a Wide Glide, which is why these models have endured. I still love my Rocker and its uniqueness, plus it seems to be holding its resale value. Just my two cents.

If you want to buy or own a Rocker I think it's a plus that they discontinued it. Your bike will be that much more unique.

Killed the Rocker???
Sorry to say, I love mine. I have to push it over on the turns, like a bear on roller skates, and its great on long rides. Most of all it puts a smile on my face every time I ride it.

the aftermarket part companies should pay the MoCo to keep the rocker alive! God only knows the $M's of revenue they made. I love my Rocker and have never regretted anything about it (except the stock seat, handlebars, rear fender, front fender, pipes and air cleaner)

The Rocker's an acquired taste, that's for sure. The stock seat/fender is HIDEOUS. However, with just a few mods, the bike can seriously OWN.

Alain, where are ya buddy?!
