Super Glide Custom
I'm new to the street bike world. Next month I'm taking the "Riders Edge" riding course. Then I want to get my first street bike. I've been looking at the Dyna Super Glide Custom. I just think its a great looking bike. I've gone to 3 dealerships and sat on both the Super Glide and Super Glide Custom, plus many of the other Dyna models. I keep coming back to the Custom though.
Had some friends tell me to start out on a Sportster, I just keep thinking that if I do that I'll want a bigger bike so why not just start out with a bigger one. Anyone that has experience with the Custom I'd love to hear about it and if you like it, pro's vs cons....
Thanks.

I may be a little biased since I own one, but I think the SuperGlides are the BEST value in HD's line-up, and maybe the BEST bikes period. I sold an ElectraGlide and bought one, and I don't regret it one bit.

one thing to consider is that the custom has chrome covers that would be a substantial cost to replace on a plain superglide dont know if the cost difference between the two bikes would offset that-also the custom has a tank mounted speedo which i prefer -both bikes are awesome!

Jimmy, congrats on your upcoming purchase. I've been riding an FXDC for two years now, after 10 years on a Sportster 1200 Custom. I loved the Sporty, but the Super Glide is in a different class completely. Like hd4evr2008 and cmonster said, the Customs are the best value for the money hands down. Best of luck in your decision.

If I had room for another bike I think it would be a Super Glide. A buddy in High School got one my senior year, I think they first came out in '70 or '71. I still think it's one of the coolest bikes Harley makes.
