I had a Sportster and a Superglide before I bought my Heritage. I am biased but I have to say the Heritage outshines them all. Smooth ride for single or 2up and it looks nice with or without the bags and windshield. Best all around bike in my opinion.

But like others have said you should take them all for a ride and see which one fits you best ...... then decide.

Talking what he said....

Good luck.
I have to agree with this...I have owned a sportster,v-rod, and now a dyna model....I wish I would have just went right to the bagger...My next bike will be a bagger....As i get older..Kool dont mean as much to me...I want comfort

Default I've had both

2003 Fat boy lots of fun threw on a road king head light on it put $5000 additional stuff . Felt more vibration on long rides great for city hoping. NEXT brought an 883 converted to a stage three. Roads in the islands great for sharp turns and island life. Just arrived back in states and purchased a Dyna fat bob. Love it quicker lighter, smoother over 40 mp. So much power feel the speed. Put 4000 dollars pipes v & h heavy breather grips ect... I'm an in the city rider or bar hope perfect for both. I'm going with fat bob great steering for turns as well. Quicker turn response time than fat boy.

Harley's are like women..get one that looks good under you. Then when you are out of heat, you will still like her.

I bought my FXD because it felt right, a perfect fit, nice handling, and then put a windshield and saddle bags on it. I ended up with the bike I like best and that suits me. It looks nice to!
