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.

Harley-Davidson Cross Bones został wprowadzony w 2008 roku jako część rodziny Softail, zaprojektowany jako motocykl w stylu retro bobber, który oddał hołd wczesnym rozebranym rowerom niestandardowym z lat 40. i 50. Posiada sprężynowy przedni widelec, siedzisko solo i minimalistyczną stylizację, która nadała mu autentyczny old school wygląd prosto z fabryki. Model został wycofany po 2011 roku, co czyni go stosunkowo krótkotrwałą, ale charakterystyczną ofertą, która pozostaje popularna wśród entuzjastów niestandardowych bobberów.

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.

7.2/10

"Piękny, twardy bobber, który karze cię za to, że go kochasz."

Cross Bones to jeden z tych rowerów, w których zakochujesz się w salonie i spędzasz następne sześć miesięcy na negocjacjach z kręgosłupem. Ten widelec sprężynowy wygląda absolutnie zabójczo i zaskakująco dobrze zmiękcza mały kotlet, ale wprowadza dziwny połysk powyżej 130 km/h, który zapewni Ci szczere ręce na autostradzie. Twin 96B jest gładki przy niskich obrotach, a 128 Nm uderza wystarczająco wcześnie, aby czuć się naprawdę trudny w mieście, ale nie myl tego z wydajną maszyną - 68 KM do 298 kilogramów uporu w stylu twardego ogona oznacza, że jeździsz w stylu stylu, a nie gonić za światłem stopu. Przez dwa lata przejechałem 14 000 km, głównie weekendowe wybuchy i dziwny nocny bieg, i chociaż moja kość ogonowa ma długą pamięć, nie żałuję ani jednej mili.

Plusy

+Widelec Springer naprawdę zmiękcza małe guzki
+Niskie siedzisko 660 mm, stopy osadzone
+Moment obrotowy Twin Cam użyteczny i natychmiastowy
+Estetyka Bobber jest ponadczasowa i autentyczna

Wady

Rama Hardtail niszczy cię ponad 200 km
Springer chwiejny powyżej 130 km/h
298 kg na mokro sprawia, że powolne manewry są szkicowe
Najlepszy dla: Pierwsze w stylu miejskie krążowniki weekendowe Pomiń, jeśli: Regularnie podróżujesz na długich dystansach

"A stylish bobber bargain if you're buying with eyes wide open."

$7,500-$12,500 used

The 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.
