Harley just dropped this off

Rocker C lands at our HQ for a week-long test. Prejudice left at the door.

I haven't ridden any Harleys for along time, so I thought I'd get a few in over the coming weeks to put some miles on them and see what they're all about. First up is the £15k+ Rocker C from the Softail range. At that price, it better be good.

I do see what they're trying to do (cash in on  new found "bobber" popularity) but they've fucked it up.

Looks like one of their usual Road Bender Rod Kings with a boober saddle stuck on it.

I like the V-rod, and the Night Rod - a proper evolution of the brand, but this like a lot of their stuff is just remodelled shyte.

And I expect they'll sell in bucketloads to divorced middle aged accountants called Norman or Tarquin who have just passed their test.

Enjoy riding it.

Well,  one thing I can say in it's favor is that you'll know which model you're looking at, unlike a lot of their other offerings.

Only the owner generally knows for SURE if it's an HD FLSCT or and FLSGC or whatever alphabet soup they throw at them... but this one, you'll know it for what it is. I'd say there's a lot worse out there.

Why not give it a proper work out, Ben and let us know how it goes. In the mean time all you whiner boys, back to Brighton.

I think it must be very strong momentum, driving the speed will soon be the preferred one of the Speed

I like it, I dont think its just for accountants and for the record I ride a Ducati Multistrada and do trackdays...and im 26. 

In that colour it does look rancid tho. A bloke has it in blue where I live and I think it looks brilliant!
