I can't believe it took 9 pages before someone said this. A nex FXDX with a 120R would be a beast.

I think going to the 120R would make it too pricey. It would be a beast, but you could get good numbers with SE heads, cam, and the 103 which is what I bet it has if it comes available here.

It can't be a 2013 model, it's not liquid-cooled.

I've never really understood bikes like this, or to a lesser extent the XR1200, but there seem to be plenty of other people that are excited about it... I guess anything that gets more people excited about Harleys is good.

Personally, if I cared that much about handling I would have bought a Buell.

Ther are different levels of handling and riding experience. A Buell or any sport bike are as comfortable as a visit to the proctologist. With my DX or this new one. You get superglide comfort with better handling and braking. The ehaust is easily changed, just as everyone does. The rest of the bike is pure dyna taken up a notch. For all the Fatbob and streetbob guys that say they like to tackle the twisties, they don't even know how much more fun this is. You still have a Harley that is yours and ready for your own personal touches. Other than wheels,brakes and suspension, all other Superglide parts will interchange. Stock and aftermarket.

Well, yeah. If you ride slow in a straight line a FXDX or XR1200 ain't going to do nothing for you.
