Would you consider the 2012 Super Glide Small?
 
Maybe I am crazy or got a napoleon complex or something, but it seems like my 2012 Super Glide is physically smaller when I pull up to other Harley bikes (not sportsters).

I guess you could say that the corvette would look small compared to a cadillac.
What's the point?

It's not small to me but I only weight 165 lbs...For my brother, it's tiny but he weighs about 275...Small is relative...

what are you curious about. Have you even looked at the HD line up before you bought your bike?

Go find a friend that drives a honda rebel if it will make you feel better...sheesh

Your Super Glide has a longer wheelbase than an Electra Glide.

Don't be an asshole. If you don't like a question, what is forcing you to answer? Sheesh...

Yes, I think they do look small, when compared to my electra glide. I really noticed it when I took a test ride on a switchback a few months back. also it seemed small compared to my 2001 FXDP but that thing sat real high because of the sport suspension that it had. They seem to have shortened the rear shocks way down on the newer super glides. makes them seem small. still a heavy motorcycle though, just put it on a scale.

I say they are small, I am 6ft 255lbs (Muscular Not fat) and I say they are small in nature. Just compare them to a Wide Glide or a Victory Hammer. Those 2 bikes are way more spacious feeling. 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:
