It looks like they airbrushed out most of the front disk brake in that pic

Shouldn't be hard to get a different rear fender, Harley's seem to be modular mix-n-match on most parts.

... and a can of flat black Rustoleum should match the paint

If Harley's are according to you stereotyped as, "bar bikes", what are BMW's stereotyped as, "short bus bicycles"?

I gave up on being anti any bike. It's not the bikes fault posers like em'. Besides I actually met a few real riders (note I said rider not biker) who ride Harleys, so I'm changing my ways. I still wont buy one, too expensive for me. Besides Harleys look funny held together with duck tape and bailing wire!

Why does a bike with no passenger seat have passenger foot pegs?
I'll have to swing by ther eon my way home today, thanks

Busting on someone choice of ride over and over and over is petty and immature.

Doesn't have a Harley either.

The Rocker C is not a bike I'd like to travel on. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to attach any meaningful amount of luggage.
It's not a bike I'd like to commute on. I'd have to wear a back pack just to carry my lunch.
It would be a good bike for riding down to Toot's on a Saturday evening.

Harley makes several good road bikes that are useful for activities other than riding to the neighborhood watering hole, but the Rocker C ain't one of them.
