Default Smooth ride?

Can you tell me how smooth the ride is on the Dyna Super Glide? Any highway vibrations? Thanks.

H.B., I recomend you go to the dealer and try out thier demo rides. That way you will know exactly what the differences are between the diferent models. Good luck.

I've put about 200 miles on my new superglide. I notice some vibrations when ideling, but it runs so smooth on the highway. I love the ride of this bike. It is smooth as can be but handles like a dream. Some say the superglide and FXRs are the best bikes Harley ever built. I agree.

Very smooth on the highway at rpms from 2000 to 3000. You'll notice a little buzziness creep in above 70mph in 5th gear.

I'v got about 600 miles on mine and it sure is smooth exspecially at highway speeds.
It it one of the best handling I've had.

I have had my Superglide for a couple of weeks and really love it. It is a big bike and handles the road like one. Slight buzz in the footpegs while shifting at certain speeds but smooth after you get up to speed. I love this bike, the bumps are soft and not harsh like my last bike.

Forgot to say that I spoke with some HD mechanics and they all ride Superglides. They have said that in their opinion that the Superglide is one of the best bargains in the line. It is overall the best by for speed, reliability, and comfort for the buck.

Isn't that a Deuce in your avator?
I have wrestled over whether to buy a Deuce or a Super Glide. I have decided on a FXDCI, and plan on ordering it next month for a March delivery. I think it will be blue with laced wheels.

I notice bar shake at about the 2000 rpm range; smooths out at highway speeds though.

The FXDX is the best handling bike of all the H-Ds I've ridin.
