My dealer told me they are discontinued, then tried to make that an excuse to lowball me on a trade. Idiots. I told them this bike is the new Badboy as far as resale. They called back the next day and offered me retail! But I had to buy a RK Classic 103. I told them thanks, but no thanks. My XBNZ is a keeper.

Comparing the effort of the multi-step process they went through, with taking a set of Jap forks out of a box it is easy to see which would be cheaper for them.

They discontinue models pretty frequently,not many crossbones where I am which is good,seeing as I've got one,the rocker to me is a very ugly bike,that floating seat looks dumb,I don't like the crossbones stock seat,that's why I've got a Corbin!
As for being a rare bike,maybe if it's stock!

The Rocker and the SG Trike don't surprise me...but the XBones has me chin scratchin!

The BadBoys were only made 95-97......so don't scratch too much.!

I agree. The Rocker & the Crossbones were CRETIN models, & needed to go.

Dollar value ain't gonna go up on 'em They discontinued WAY cooler bikes, like the NightTrain, Softail Custom, & Low Rider, and THEIR value hasn't gone anywhere.

cre·tin [kreet-n or, especially Brit., kret-n] Show IPA
noun
1.
a person suffering from cretinism.
2.
a stupid, obtuse, or mentally defective person.

O.K., I may not have much of an argument on the mentally defective, but I'll draw the line at obtuse! Cretin my eye.
