I understand the C and trike...but the Cross Bones? Kind of liked the looks of that one. Was probably the only Soft Tail i would have considered buying.

I agree. The Cross Bones was a nice bike, but it appears customers voted otherwise with their wallets.

Yeah , I like the Crossbones too . But I have to admit , I didn't buy one and I've only seen a couple of them on the road . So I guess everyone admires them but don't buy them .

I think they're just trying to force everyone to look at the new Dyna models for now.
Just like they left a couple years between the Wide Glide revision to make people look at the new Rocker. And how the discontinued the Night Train when they came out with the Street Bob and Fat Bob and Fat Boy Lo.

My guess is that by 2014 at the latest we'll see the FX softail and/or Springer back in the lineup.
