My first cruiser, my first Harley. Just added a Dyna Wide Glide to my quiver. So far, I am loving this bike, starting to see what all the fuss is about! Looking forward to wasting a bunch of time, and being paranoid about all the "issues" my bike has.
I think the issues are only subjective to the end user. I did research on the twin cam engine vs evo. I originally wanted to get a sportster 72. Came across a wide glide for a bargain and jumped on it. Literally. I tried my hand at sport bikes... The only one I can be comfortable on is a Ducati monster, and if you ever tried adjusting the valves in those for the first time... Yeah I'll pass... Love the way they sound straight piped! I can't ride a crotch rocket for more than half an hour before my back shoulders wrists and neck hurt... Nor can I stand the high pitched exhaust whine, my sister has a ninja 600 that I lowered for her, brother in law has a ninja as well, not sure of size but rode his a while ago, halfway through our ride I pulled over and swapped back. I think you'll love it. Especially on longer rides.
Btw is that KTM one of those 2x2s? I rode one of those at a friends house back in NY pulled a wheelie and saw the front tire spin furiously. Didn't think much of it til whipping around corners and felt the bike literally pull. Those are a unique ride for sure! I didn't know it until he told me that it was 2 wheel drive and was great in the marshes and snow.
