Something the local HD saleman said caught my attention

If the Crossbones is dropped, it would only be due to the the bike appealing to a very limited market. They may sell all they make, but how many units do they produce a year vs. other softails? Speaking of Softails, I am surprised that they continue to make the Heritage/Deluxe/Fatboy. The three cannibalize off each other. They could just offer one base bike with "appearance package" options.
The Superglide is a great bike (no spokes!). But, how many new buyers go into a dealership and drive out with the base Dyna vs. the Custom or a Bob?
Personally, I love the Roadglide. But, most folks that buy baggers tend to go for a RK or one of the batwings.
Dropping the 1200C? That one is hard to buy into.

While at the local HD dealer, I had a chat with one of the sales guys as he was showing the new 2011 color book to a guy looking to buy a Streetglide. We got to talking about various models, and he said that it wouldn't suprise him if the Rocker and the base model V-Rod disappeared. He also mentioned that they couldn't give the Cross Bones away. That suprised me, because I see them on the road here quite abit, and there a good looking platform to customize. It'll be interesting to see what Models HD drops,if any, and what they pull out of their parts bins.

Pssst...I think your info is a little old...the softail standard hasn't been in the lineup for a couple of years.

models still sitting there...and they came in with the first '09s the store got! Most everyone I talk to that has a V-Rod bought it used from out-of-state. Where do they come from? I guess Joplin is enthralled with used V-Rods...
