You couldn't have picked 3 bikes tougher to make a choice between.

I personal love how classic a softail springer is and the springer front end just looks amazing. Harley Davidson's softail springers were the most modern classic bikes around. I really hope the moco brings out another springer.

Get the bones. Springers are unique...you just don't see a lot of them. Ride is awesome too. I will never own a Harley that isn't a springer.

Another vote for a crossbones, those things are molded out of pure badass.

I loved my Springer first and foremost because it wreaked of old school style. I loved it even more when I realized that it stands out in almost every bike crowd. Love it or hate it, everyone wants to stare at it. The Bones pushed and already awesome platform to a whole new level!

If I can help it, every scoot I own will be a Springer.
