Theoretically less flex near the frame and less unsprung weight, should result in a stronger front end feel, like a fork brace, damping and springs still play a big part though.

I have always liked Exile Cycles creations and have been waiting for them to do a Dyna for quite some time now. I'm highly disappointed to say the least. Although I understand the whole "be open minded" point some of you are trying to make, I can't help but hate it. I expected something completely different from a company that is loved for their fat tire bobbers/choppers with super clean ape hangers and forward controls. The Dyna platform has so much potential and I feel they wasted it all by making this bike. They took a Dyna and made it into a Sportster XR1200 with a few extra bells and whistles and fat price tag. I hope this is just one of many Dyna models they release and I hope the others stick to their classic fat tire bobber look...I'm not trying to start an argument on here. I'm simply just expressing my personal opinion.

I like it, would I buy it? nah.I'd rather sell it and build a couple or three more interesting bikes with the money.If you built something like that with a Triumph Scrambler or even a Sportster it would actually look and work better for allot less cash.If you really wanted to go cheap you could just buy a KLR or DR 650, strip it down a little and call it done.

Like I've said before, I admire anyone with the guts to take somethin' and make it their own. I like the way everything works together for a cohesive look.
On the other hand, it's like babies. At my age, they're fantastic, lots of fun, I really like 'em.....as long as they belong to someone else. Kids are a direction I'll never go again, and I'd certainly never take my bike in the direction of that one.
