Yes.
you are just saying this because you know i want to hear it...which is fine. :-) lookswise, and from what ive read and seen as far as performance goes, as well as the riding position, it seems to be a bike that would be huge fun to ride on winding roads, as well as being comfy cozy enough after a seat change for long mile eating journeys. though the road king classic is an amazingly sweet creation, but perhaps it is better suited for a post dyna sport bike. besides, i dont think my stomach is quite large enough for the road king, but give me a few years and i will have a belly worthy of the king! ;-)

If you notice my sig, I have a Low Ryder. It is a fine street bike and I have used it as a daily rider and taken it on day rides of up to 300 miles. If you anticipate riding further or with a passenger, look to the touring models.

It is not required to have a big belly to get a RK which is a fine bike.

You'll acheive nirvana with any HD. Whether the Dyna Sport is the bike for you or not depends solely on you, what type of riding you will do and your style. If I remember right, the Sport does not have forward controls which would make it a better bike for riding curves. Beyond that, I can't add much else.

I've been very satisfied with mine.

The triple disc brakes and adjustable suspension are the biggest advantages of the FXDX imo.

I kept the mid-controls and put highway pegs on mine right away.

Hey man!!!!!!! Dont say that! I'm using that as an excuse to move up in a couple of years to a RK from my Super.

A big twin rumbling between your legs will give you a thrill and wont talk back.

If I had the money.................Night Train.........quicker than a heart beat.

But.......I'm startgin to save for my RK in a couple of years.

ive already changed my mind 3 times...latyest is the deluxe softail, if i can fit on it comfy cozily. was reading a post in the softail section and everyone of those guys could be posted up and taken to the well by nate archibald. and nate is like 80 now. and probably nowhere near his playing heigth of 5'-6".

seems im too skinny for a RK, too tall for a softail classic, too much ego for a sportster....maybe im back to the fxdx sport again :-)
