Suspension question
Greetings all.
1st time purchasing a Harley but before I buy, a salesman at a dealership told me that the Softail has a less "aggressive" ride than something with springs. Any truth to this? What exactly does "aggressive" mean in this case? Also is 6`7 255. Will mostly use for work transportation with an occasional short highway ride for now. Thank you for your opinions on this matter. I'm looking at purchasing a 07-10 Softail custom soon.

I started my H-D life with an FXR, (HD dropped the FXR and replaced with the FXD), went to RoadKing then a Heritage.
The smaller bike was definitely fun to through around and a pleasure in the twisties, I just felt too big on it (6-4, 225)
The RK is a great ride, had for many years, not really hard to handle in town but I always felt like I was sitting on top of it.
Got the Heritage this past year and absolutely love it. feels good, rides great, seat could be improved. Again not a nimble bike but fits and feels like I belong on it.
