Default Trying to decide on my first Harley

Hi! I've been looking at Harley's now for a few years and am ready to buy. Am 48 and have been rinding dirt bikes most of my life and still do, but am looking back to getting on the street now that the kids are almost grown and I have a little more time to ride. Most of my riding will be local just fun rides for now probably 1/2 hour to 2 hours of so in lenght, maybe longer at times. Started out looking at the Dyna Super Glide Custom as it looks great and looks to be fun to ride. Also like the Fatboy but have not ridden a FB yet. Thought if I am going to buy should just by a new Road King and bedone with it but not sure if that is the way to go for just fun mostly one up riding. Any advice??

Thanks!!

I got the superglide custom and its really good, always had sport bikes GSXR 1000K6, BMW RT1150, Blackbird and guess what, the Harley is more fun.
Buy the bike you like the look of, dynas handle a bit better than softies but you need to sit on a few and you will instantly know which one fits you.

Sit on and test ride the ones you like, then make your decision. I love my Road King Custom whether it is a short or long ride. If you do end up going on long rides, two up, and or need some storage, you'll never regret the touring bike. The Super glide Custom does look great, but I think they all do in their own way! Good Luck!!!
