Default Why Dyna?
I know why I chose a Dyna, and why I am still so happy with a Dyna. What about you? Why do you ride a Dyna model?

I'd say it was the great entry price, the look, the handling and the ride.

Wanted a current Harley cruiser a little lighter than the land yachts, that could handle twisty roads at a brisk pace, had mid controls available and the kicker for me 2 front disc brakes. The Fat Bob was the only one that fit the bill when I bought my bike. The XR1200 hit the U.S. a month later.

Rubber mounted motor , slightly longer than any other Dyna , or Softail , at that time . And I just wanted it . I like Softails too . Just not as much as I liked my Wide Glide . I don't know about the claim that Softails don't handle well . I ride with a couple of Softail riders , and they hang right there with my Dyna .
