Default Comfort zone?

I realize that how a bike feels to an individual is a very personal experience. I've read many older threads about someone that wanted something like the Classic as their first ever motorcycle and most of the replies were to go for it. These seemed mostly based on the idea that the Classic was very well balanced and the center of gravity was pretty low, and it was a very easy to ride and stable bike. Very forgiving.

What are the thoughts or considerations of the Super Glide? Is this considered a forgiving bike with low CoG and lots of stability?

What do you guys think is the most stable model?

Just curious.

Mike

Buy the Superglide, there is more you can do with it to personalize it to your tastes. The Softy does have a lower seat height, but unless your inseam is pretty short, the Dyna is okay. A Superglide can be lowered a good 1.5" w/o a lot of effort or expense and you still get a more sporty bike in the process, although that's just my own opinion.
