Per VINdown's modeling, the Harley-Davidson XL1200X Forty Eight retains an estimated 70% of its value after five years, ranking #422 of 1005 powersports vehicles we track. That trails the 74% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 4 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Harley-Davidson XL1200X Forty Eight sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $12,299 it falls to around $8,609 by year five — a five-year loss near $3,690, about $2.02 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Harley-Davidson XL1200X Forty Eight bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
