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.

A Harley-Davidson Cross Bones foi lançada em 2008 como parte da família Softail, projetada como uma motocicleta de estilo bobber retrô que homenageou as primeiras motos personalizadas despojadas das décadas de 1940 e 1950. Ele apresentava um garfo dianteiro elástico, assento individual e um estilo minimalista que lhe conferia uma aparência autêntica da velha escola, direto da fábrica. O modelo foi descontinuado após 2011, tornando-o uma oferta relativamente curta, mas distinta, que continua popular entre os entusiastas de bobinas personalizadas.

O que os compradores devem saber

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.

"Linda bobber durona que te pune por amar isso."

A Cross Bones é uma daquelas bicicletas pelas quais você se apaixona na concessionária e passa os próximos seis meses negociando sem parar. Esse garfo springer parece absolutamente incrível e, na verdade, suaviza pequenos cortes surpreendentemente bem, mas introduz um brilho estranho acima de 130 km/h que manterá suas mãos honestas na rodovia. O gêmeo 96B é suave como manteiga em baixas rotações, com 128 Nm atingindo cedo o suficiente para parecer genuinamente trabalhoso na cidade, mas não o confunda com uma máquina de alto desempenho — 68 cv a 298 kg de teimosia no estilo hardtail significa que você pilota com estilo, não persegue o semáforo. Eu percorri 14.000 km na minha em dois anos, principalmente explosões de fim de semana e uma estranha corrida noturna, e embora meu cóccix tenha uma memória longa, não me arrependo de nem um quilômetro.

Prós

+O garfo Springer suaviza genuinamente pequenos solavancos
+Assento baixo de 660 mm, pés plantados
+Torque de câmera dupla utilizável e imediato
+A estética Bobber é atemporal e autêntica

Contras

A estrutura Hardtail destrói você além de 200 km
oscilação do Springer acima de 130 km/h
298 kg molhados tornam as manobras lentas incompletas

"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.
