Harley-davidson Cross Bones
The Harley-davidson Cross Bones has a top speed of approximately 175 km/h (note: estimated), produces approximately 60 hp and weighs 297 kg. Motoryk rates it 7/10.
Die Harley-Davidson Cross Bones wurde 2008 als Teil der Softail-Familie eingeführt. Sie war als Retro-Bobber-Stil-Motorrad konzipiert und war eine Hommage an die frühen abgespeckten Custombikes der 1940er und 1950er Jahre. Es verfügte über eine Springer-Vorderradgabel, einen Solositz und ein minimalistisches Design, das ihm direkt ab Werk einen authentischen Old-School-Look verlieh. Das Modell wurde nach 2011 eingestellt, was es zu einem relativ kurzlebigen, aber unverwechselbaren Modell macht, das bei Custom-Bobber-Enthusiasten nach wie vor beliebt ist.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Twin Cam Reliability
The Cross Bones runs Harley's Twin Cam 96B engine, which is generally reliable but known for cam chain tensioner wear — a common issue worth inspecting on used models before buying.
Strong Collector Value
Production ended in 2011, making the Cross Bones a limited-run model that holds resale value well. Clean, low-mileage examples are increasingly sought after by bobber enthusiasts.
Factory Bobber Style
The Cross Bones came stock with a springer front fork, ape hanger bars, and a solo seat — rare factory bobber features that would cost thousands to add aftermarket on other models.

"Wunderschöner Hardass-Bobber, der dich dafür bestraft, dass du ihn liebst."
Das Cross Bones ist eines dieser Motorräder, auf die Sie sich beim Händler verlieben und die nächsten sechs Monate damit verbringen, mit Ihrem Rückgrat darüber zu verhandeln. Diese Springergabel sieht absolut umwerfend aus und macht kleine Hacken überraschend weich, aber über 130 km/h sorgt sie für ein seltsames Hangeln, mit dem Sie auf der Autobahn ehrlich bleiben. Der 96B Twin ist bei niedrigen Drehzahlen butterweich und die 128 Nm schlagen früh genug ein, um sich in der Stadt wirklich mühelos zu fühlen, aber verwechseln Sie ihn nicht mit einer Hochleistungsmaschine — 68 PS und 298 Kilogramm Sturheit im Hardtail-Stil bedeuten, dass Sie stilvoll fahren und nicht der Ampel hinterherlaufen. Ich habe über einen Zeitraum von zwei Jahren 14.000 km zurückgelegt, hauptsächlich Wochenendausflüge und gelegentlich auch Nachtläufe, und obwohl mein Steißbein ein langes Gedächtnis hat, bereue ich keine einzige Meile.

"A stylish bobber bargain if you're buying with eyes wide open."
$7,500-$12,500 usedThe Cross Bones is one of Harley's more honest attempts at old-school bobber style without the custom price tag. Running from 2008 to 2011, it's built on the Softail chassis with the 96ci Twin Cam, springer front end, and that swept-back seating position that looks genuinely tough rather than trying-too-hard. Used examples are plentiful and prices have settled into sensible territory, which makes this an interesting proposition right now. Here's the honest part though — that springer fork is characterful but it's also a handful in fast corners and wants constant attention. Maintenance costs on springers aren't for the faint-hearted, and previous owners often skimped on it. Before buying, grab the bars and check for any slop or uneven movement. The solo seat looks incredible and feels like sitting on a brick after 45 minutes. Most owners fitted a different seat within a year, so hunt for one that's already been sorted. Electrics are typical pre-2014 Harley — functional but temperamental.
