Default Dyna vs other models

More "newbie" questions...........I know this arm of the site is for Dynas and am wondering how the Dynas compare to the other models? Pros and cons of owning a Dyna?

Is it a middle of the road bike, top end or lower end of the Harley spectrum?

Thanks,

Ron

Dyna's to me are the Hot Rod of the Harley family. Big V-twin in the lightest chassis the big twin comes in. Coming from riding GSXR's andsportbikes in generalsince I was 15 I was very surprised how well a Superglide handles.

Better not let the Sportster guys hear you say that, although I'm sure your right.

I didn't say the lightest Harley, I said the lightest Harley the big twin comes in. Or are you refering to the Hot rod part?

to me its the best run around town big twin. and with a few detach.(widshield,backrest, sundowner seat, throw over bags)and a good tbag set up its great for the long haul as well. i love how it transformes from one type to another type of bike in seconds.

My Streetbob will out handle my Sporty any day of the week. I think it's mostly due to a lower center of gravity on the Bob. The brakes on the Bob are much better too.
