Have you rode the dyna yet?
Ride it, then see how you like it.
If you don't like it, don't buy it!

HELLO

Was there any here that felt stepped on ?
I really want one, and has also accepted that they looks better than they drive And yes, i Have tried every single HD model.

But instead of you guys felt insulted. Could you then just please tell me why they chosed to build it like that way ?
Could they not just have made it like they have done with their Touring models. OR have I overlooked something, construction wise...

I really really want the Dyna, but I have to understand why I they made on that way.

Get a touring model then. Or get a car. It's a rubber mounted, air cooled, belt driven, v-twin Harley Davidson Dyna, and if I didn't like the 'poor design' I'd buy something else.

I for one agree with you that it's a **** poor design. It baffles me why Harley designed them the way they did. But, in all but the most aggressive riding situations the Dyna handles very well. I should know, I've owned three. If you're looking for a really well handling Harley then search for a used FXR. With used Harley prices down, you can pick one up for a reasonable price.

Btw, if a Dyna's what you really want, then why not invest in a True-Track or similar stabilizer? It fixes the bad design.

Like I replied in another thread this evening:

"If we had to explain, you wouldn't understand".

Why is grass - green, the sky - blue.... etc..because that's the color the Big Guy made it... If you must know WHY they are the way they are, maybe you should talk to HD engineering. They are the only ones who truly know "Why".

probably still a lame design because if they fix it they will be admiting guilt in having a lame design that has caused many people to go down at high speeds. maybe there would be some lawsuits coming there way if they fixed the problem.

Default Rear Swing Arm

NONE of the Harleys are out of the box racers...Come on, it's a push rod overhead valve engine. Lots of other manufactures make faster and more competitive bikes and Harleys are a cruiser style bike. Every single car I ever purchased, had limitations and ANY vehicle you will ever buy will have to be adapted to. A Harley is no different...If the motor and suspension on a Dyna give you the *******, there is always BMW or better yet Bimota...go for it.
