Question Once in a lifetime situation!

Hey riders I'm new to the site... I'm the lucky bastard that gets to pick between two harleys. Did I mention they are free! I want your opinion as this would be my first Harley and I as much digging as I have done I still don't have answers based on people who know a thing or two about these bikes. So I can either take a 95th anniversary Dyna Wide Glide bored out with solid lifters, one owner mint condition or a 1997 custom soft tail (not the heritage), teal and creme with edelbrock carbs and maybe something done to the engine(wasn't clear on a text I received but will confirm) pumping more than 115 horse, also same one owner and in mint condition. Is there a clear winner here or is it just a preference thing? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'd start out with an inexpensive metric bike first.

Whichever one you choose, can I have the other one?

Both would handle completely different because of design, I'm kind of a Dyna fan,, but 115hp would make me go for the softail.

Do tell,, how do you get to "choose"-"for free". ?
