That being said I like my bikes to be short, nimble and powerful. I have a FXDX Superglide Sport and had a Street Bob both with mid controls if that tells ya anything. :icon_eddie:


I am also 6ft @ 245lbs but I had to put on forward controls. This is my first bike and find myself looking at what everyone else has. :icon_wheel:

No way I could do 20 yrs on an 883. Dont get me wrong I love the sportster but it would have to be a 1200 R and I would definately have another bike in the garage. I started on an 883 and immediately I dumped moneyy into the motor. Those low end gears made the bike scream once I punched it out and put cams in. I had just gotten it back together when an inattentive (texting) driver decided to smack me off of it. I miss that bike

Hello there
i ride an fxdxi and its a bitch to pull out of the garage backwards up the drive and there is no room to turn it round. Compared to others in the range i think they are in the middle. I like my bike size and think that every bike in the range is a compromise. When we are out as a group and the roads are long and straight i envy the lads on kings and full dressers and when we are on the tight uk back roads the sportys cut a good line and when its a traffic light drag strip i think the vrods are the bis but overall i think that my fxdxi is the best bike in the world for me.

A little smaller.....maybe, but WAY cooler!
Touring bike = Nice, and comfy.
Dyna = WHAHOOOO!!!
I own both, and if one had to go, it would be the touring bike for sure.

Same situation here. That sums it up.
