First, FXR's weren't Dynas.
And what's the point of comparing a 2018 model to a bike that is at least a quarter century old?

And you. What is the point in comparing apples to oranges. The fxr isn't even fuel injected. That's a big difference right there amongst many others.

A pathetic metric looking pile of **** vs. a FXR? There is no comparison to be made...


That said, though they look horrible stock. I'm sure someone will mod them and make them look good. I do like the new Fatboy..

But if I recall, that was the bad rap the FXR had in the 80's.
Looked too metric (Politically correct term - wasn't gonna use
the "J" word.)

That said, the FXR is still one of my favorites.

I haven't seen an 18 with a former Dyna name tag yet.
Only a Heritage.
And it looked better in person. It was that enema red though.
Not gonna pay $20K+ to remind me of a $200 bike I rattle-canned
in the 70s.
