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 был представлен в 2008 году как часть семейства Softail и был спроектирован как мотоцикл в стиле ретро боббер, посвященный ранним урезанным кастомным мотоциклам 1940-х и 1950-х годов. Он отличался спружинной передней вилкой, одиночным сиденьем и минималистским стилем, что придавало ему аутентичный олдскульный вид прямо с завода. После 2011 года выпуск этой модели был прекращен, поэтому она просуществовала относительно недолго, но оригинально и до сих пор пользуется популярностью среди любителей кастомных бобберов.

Что следует знать покупателям

🔧

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.

Поколения и характеристики по годам

2008–2011 Gen 1

Произведено только поколение. Передняя вилка Springer, рама в стиле хардтейл, стиль боббер, часть семейства Softail.

"Красивый твёрдый боббер, который наказывает тебя за то, что ты её любишь."

Cross Bones — один из тех велосипедов, на которые вы влюбляетесь в дилерский центр и в течение следующих шести месяцев будете договариваться со своим позвоночником. Эта спрингерная вилка выглядит просто потрясающе и на самом деле на удивление хорошо смягчает мелкую резинку, но при скорости более 130 км/ч она издает странный мерцание, поэтому на автостраде вы будете чувствовать себя уверенно. Двойник 96B на низких оборотах работает плавно, а 128 Нм разгоняются достаточно рано, чтобы по городу можно было по-настоящему напрячься, но не стоит путать его с высокопроизводительной машиной: 68 л.с. и 298 кг упрямства в стиле хардтейл означают, что вы едете стильно, а не гонитесь за светофором. За два года я проехал 14 000 км, в основном это были взрывы по выходным и случайная ночная пробежка, и хотя у меня долгая память на копчик, я не жалею ни одной мили.

Плюсы

+Вилка Springer действительно смягчает небольшие неровности
+Низкое сиденье 660 мм, ноги посажены
+Крутящий момент Twin Cam удобный и мгновенный
+Эстетика Bobber неподвластна времени и аутентична

Минусы

−Рама Hardtail уничтожает вас на расстоянии более 200 км
−Колебание спрингера выше 130 км/ч
−298 кг на мокрой дороге делают медленные маневры отрывочными
Лучшее для: Первые в своем стиле городские круизеры по выходным Пропустите, если: Вы регулярно путешествуете на большие расстояния

"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.
