Bad Boys were bad-azz looking bikes, that's for sure. I remember when they were introduced and I'm pretty sure they did not come out of the box with saddlebags. I don't think the Springers ride any rougher than any other model, but I've been told they may take a little more maintenance.

I think the price is a little high but it does look brand new.

From the pic, the bike does look great. Not being made anymore is a good thing because it would make it unique as compared to other Springers on the road. If the bike has never been laid down and properly maintained, it looks like a cool bike. I can't speak from experience because I've never ridden a 95 Badboy but I can speak from experience on my 05 Springer. I have logged over 73k on her and she rides like a dream to me, but each to their own. As for the possibility of needing more maintaining than other models, that isn't my experience. Not saying that this is true for every Springer out there but I haven't had any issues what so ever with my Springer front end. Good luck

The BadBoy was made only in 1995. There were Springer Softails but they were not called BadBoys as this one was. It even says it on the A/C. The BadBoys were discontinued in 1996. This one is as mint as mint gets.

That's a fair price on an unmolested classic.I have seen that one in person and the picture doesn't do it justice.

Is the rake on the Bad Boy different than that of the '00 and newer that look like they were run into a wall?

Go over to the Bad Boy picture thread on here Dan.There are plenty of each year there.The scallop colors were red (really listed as silver),yellow and aqua which was the most popular color numbers wise.All three colors were not available at the same time all three years. To put your mind at ease call the factory 414-343-4056 and ask for production records they will tell how many of each of the three colors that they came in for each year. I checked VIN with them before I bought mine. With a little more research you can also find out original dealer and owner,owners for the history of the bike.Somebody has mis informed you.
