looks old school,but ride's with new tech.
By (I am an Owner) on Apr 05, 2011i have had several bikes in my life. i always seem to end up on a harley. sometimes it came in milk crates or maybe if i was lucky, it came half way put together. which ever way it came, it was still a harley. most of the time i could find plenty of help from my buds, and most of the time i would, ... some how end up with a pretty nice ride. most of the time the hd power plant was attached to a rigid frame, and a peddle from someones schwin for a kick start. the day came when i was tired of working on a bike, i wanted to ride more, i wanted the assurence that when i went on a trip,that i would return as plan, and with no brake downs. i had heard about the rocker, and that i would come in 2007. i saw it, and thought, wow! old school look, but with fuel eject, disk brakes,but i am a fan of shinney things. the more it shines the better it looks. i waited until 2008 to buy my rocker-c. i had heard there was some shinney paint on these babies. my wife and i had gone to sherveport,la., we talked about stopping at the harley dealership on the way back home, i had a little bit luck in la.,we walked into the dealership and man it was still my lucky day, there sat a brand new 2008 rocker-c/with one of the best looking colors that hd had ever sprayed on a production bike. salesman walked up, asked how we were doing? i remember telling him that i had never felt better, and the rest is history. i bought my first brand new harley davidson,and i love it,i'll ride anywhere,any time. it rides as good as it looks.and it turns a lot of heads,and it's a production? i've been to daytona's bike week,my next trip on this baby is s.d.,iam almost 60yrs. old and i can ride this bike all day long and into the night. there are not enough stars to rate this bike. thank you harley davidson. by the way in one of the reviews,the writter said"don't see very many", he's right.i would like to see an all rocker group, like the triks, and the baggers, maybe one day harley davidson will host an event just for young & old men and their ROCKER'S.

Harley Rocker C Rocks!
By (I am an Owner) on Dec 31, 2008It's fun to ride a bike that someone takes a picture of almost every time you ride it. Handles great with plenty of power. Sits low. Comfortable ride.

2008 Rocker C
By (I am an Owner) on Nov 10, 2008The Rocker C is my long awaited first motorcycle. I am extremely happy with every aspect of it...except for limited storage capability, I had to get a bag made to fit onto the left side but that was a good time too.

WOW
By (I am an Owner) on Oct 24, 2008WOW!! That is what most people say when they look at my 08' Rocker C. I had a 07' Softail Custom before this bike and YA the seat could use some help on the Rocker but I dont think very many people who buy the Rocker are looking for a "Country Cruiser" so it is definately THE bike for me plus you ... can do so much to it!!

My Rocker C
By (I am an Owner) on Sep 16, 2008I love my Rocker. It handles great around corners. Great on long Trips. The accessories are easy obtained. Lots of bling and attracts attention. Passengers enjoys ride.Not too many around.

One Bad Motor Bike !
By (I am an Owner) on Sep 12, 2008Purchased a new rocker c in July of 2008.The bike handles very well especially in the corners.The stock exhaust had to go sounded like a honda,put V&H bid radius on sounds a lot better.Performance wise not bad but I did not buy a zrx-14 ninja either.Over all a nice bike no better than any other harley ... in it's class but I do get a lot of second looks.

get the bugs out,and new toys in
By (I am an Owner) on Aug 31, 2008I love the look of my rocker and i felt if i put some extras on it,that it was going to be my last dream bike.Ive been having a problem from the start with my bike shaking at 70 mph. at my 1000 mile check up where they are suppost to tighten everything,they never thigten my steering nut.The bikes ... need good people to work on these bikes,and fix them right the first time.I feel the lower gears are to slow ,but at the high end of 4th gear it starts to get up and go.The 6th gear is great!Theirs no strest on the engine and its like your floating even know my stearing isnt fix yet. Theirs not alot of parts to chose from and they have one windshield you can get,which i feel looks good on the bike, but the clamps hit my tank in a very hard turn.I had my shocks adj for a smoother ride.im 155 lbs and the smoothest setting, bottoms out with only me on the bike. Also the passenger seat isnt that great and i really would like a new seat that i can sit in for the long ride and my passanger can feel
