Crossbones, Is it me or...

Wow I never thought I would get such a response to my opinion on this bike. I agree with most of you, the Bones could be a great looking bike with a few $1000 in modifications what bike couldn't. I was mearly making an observation on it as stock.
You guys are so defensive. I'm a troll because I don't post a lot. Most of the time I don't have much to say. If that makes me a troll that's cool a troll it is. I ride a sportster. Go ahead and start laughing. I'm not even going to try and defend my choice.
Here's my bike let the trashing begin.

Another one is putting in one's mouth words he never said, like you just did here. It's not the number of posts, nor the bike you ride. It's the attitude.
Nice bike, btw. Another proof that nice bikes and nice people don't necessarily come together.
Now, prove me wrong and I'll be happy to admit I was unfair.

I was dead set on getting a Bones when I went looking for a bike late last year. I sat on several but the seat just didn't feel right to me. I constantly felt like I was setting "on top" of the bike and was not "part" of the bike. Just an odd feeling, something I suppose you get use to if you have one. I love the look and styling though, would love to set on one that has had the stock seat changed out.

What I wrote is that coming in a new community introducing yourself with derogatory comments on something most people in the community likes SMELLS of trolling. I gave you the benefit of doubt and an implicit advice on a behaviour better avoided.

All I did was state my opinion that doesn't make me a bad guy or a guy with an atitude. I didn't know we had to behave a certain way. I said no disrepect to the Xbones owners. If I don't post I'm a troll if I post something you don't like I have an atitude. At least I added something for everyone to discuss. I got 8 pages. Just out of curiousity, do you think every bike that HD has produced looks great or do you have favorites?

being an old guy from the retro era I think the bones should have
forward controls - not boards
no pogo seat - seat contured to frame
love the rear fender - but could be a little different
get rid of the shock on the springer - use a paco springer
higher bars
get rid of that fat front wheel - everybody used a 19/21 back in the day if they could
like the bike but I think it needs some changing..

I like the X Bones - except for that rear fender. It doesn't go with the the concept of the bike. One of the local HD dealers here swapped out the rear fender, the tank (with old school tank badges), the bars (low, pulled-back), then painted it red - damn that thing looks good!

I get what your saying but I'm not new to the forum. I have been here for a little while. I'm just not a serial poster that's why you may not recognize me.

An ancient saying goes "De gustibus non est disputandum" which means "it's not good to debate about personal taste", as it is useless, comes to nothing, each one has his opinion, as good as that of anybody else, and nothing constructive can come out from such a debate, and easily will turn into an futile argument. They had their good reasons to say so, and they were right.
This said, I like MOST bikes HD makes or made, but I don't like the Street Glide at all, and the Fat Bob is not in my chords.
My favorites are probably the Street Bob and Superglide Custom, and the latest CVO springer softails.
In the regular run, I'd say the Softail Custom, the 883 Iron for the Sportster and the Road King among cruisers.
