Deciding on first motorcyle
I am looking for thoughts on first bike to purchase. 2006 Dyna low with 11k miles or 2014 1200 custom with only 4k. Both are priced about the same. I enjoyed both on the test rides on Saturday.
Is there any big things I should look for between the 2 of them?
Any general thoughts on the Dyna vs the 1200 that would make a difference on a first time rider?

I had both bikes ('97 1200 & '09 Dyna LR); loved them both. What Wingnut said is the bottom line.
IMO, the Dyna Low Rider is much better if you're planning on 2-up riding at some point. More comfort and power. Does the '06 have a 6 speed? That's a big plus. Also I found the Dyna's lower center of gravity made it easier to maneuver, but not by leaps and bounds.
Ride'em both again to help sort it out. Good Luck!
