Anyone keep their Sporster when getting a Dyna?
I was looking through some of the pictures on this forum and in a couple of shots I saw the Dyna with a Sportster in the background.
If you have a Dyna (or even a Softail), why would anyone keep a Sportster?
The Dynas have bigger motors, ride better, and are nearly just a nimble..

I wanted to keep mine when I picked up my fat bob but just wasn't in the cards. I picked up the dyna for more room for the little woman and to be so big and heavy it's very nimble. My sportster was like a small street bob all in all and it felt like it. Can't quite put my finger on it but there's just something about riding the sportster. I still miss it on occassion.

Not the same as a Dyna, I know, but when I got my Tour Glide, never even considered giving up the sporty (1200). I'd thought about getting a Dyna, for a more comfortable touring ride, but then I wouldn't have the best of either world, decided a full tourer and the sporty was the best deal.

Before my Road King was drowned by Sandy I was thisclose to buying a Sporty for around town blasts. However, without a tourer in my garage I opted for a new Super Glide which is a perfect compromise between a big touring machine and a nimble Sporty. Of course, that is my humble opinion.

I kept mine when I got my Fat, then twice the insurance, twice as many bikes to wash, maintain, ended up being more work than enjoyment, so sold it after about six months.
