HARLEY! Bring back the NightTrain,Badboy and Crossbones!and others?
Id like to hear some opinions just for conversation purposes on what you guys think about what bikes that Harley Axed should still be in the Line up OR brought back even better then ever! I really think they should bring back.... 1. NightTrain 2.Crossbones 3. BadBoy.. If i worked for Harley and i was going to bring these bikes back even better they Would all come with the 103 The NightTrain would be similar to what it was with 200mm tire and all blacked out but with more style. The Badboy would have the wide 200mm as well would be blacked out but have more chrome accents then the Train and the Springer Front. The Crossbones would be similar to what it was but would come with a 180mm rear tire and rounded fender. I think bringing these bikes back with the bigger engines and the Noted upgrades they would sell well..
Definitely think they should bring back the Night Train! They would sell well.
The Bad Boy & Crossbones....not so much. They didn't sell well to begin with, so it would not be in their best interest to bring them back.
I can't believe they are axing the Road Glide and the Road King Standard...something has to be in the works for these models..
As far as the Blackline being axed...that was a good call. I think with the Blackline they were trying to re-create something like the Night Train, but it doesn't have the style and feel that the NT did...not even close.
If they're going to bring back the Train....bring it back exactly like it was, except it will have the 103.

I agree with the NightTrain being the Most popular heck i loved my 09 Train and still regret selling it. I do love my 12 Fatboy Lo tho! That being said.. The bad boy would do better then it did if it comes with the upgrades like 200mm rear and 103 engine and modern styling! Basically it would be similar to the Nighttrain but with a Springer Front end! I also think the Crossbone will do 10 times better then it did with the rear fender changed to a rounder style with a 180 tire and the 103 engine. That was almost everybody's complaint about that bike was the rear!
If they brought them back as they were I'd be all for it. However, if they were to do a number on them like they did when they brought the Wide Glide back it's better to leave them retired.

I dont agree.. If they brought the Badboy or the Crossbones back as they were they wouldnt do good.. The NightTrain would! Crossbones needs a different rear in terms of style and so does the Badboy in terms of a wider rear! The new Wide glide got that tiny skinny rear which IMO killed it!
