Default 2013 Harley-Davidson DynaŽ Super Glide Custom

I was reading an article that said,

The 2013 Harley-Davidson DynaŽ Super Glide Custom
is Rated #11 of 78 for best 2013 cruiser.

I read the 5 reviews from owners on the bike.

All 5 stated how great the bike was and not one mentioned anything bad about it.

2 gave the bike 5 stars.
1 gave it 2 stars.
2 gave it 1 star.

What is the deal with that? I would think they should have all been 5 stars!

If I had reviewed it, I would have drawn another little star by it so it would have six stars.

maybe the guys that gave it lower ratings had ridden other brands of bikes, and had something to compare it to.

Its not a good cruiser. You get to build it into a good cruiser. Its a bar hopper until you do. Cruisers are for comfort. Dynas are for people who like the feel of a real bike. Things like vibration, wind, road spray, and a June Bug/Bee makes the ride fun. Those are not fun to a cruiser rider.

On some review sites 1 star is default. Loved the product, looked like you needed to hit next to change stars, but instead it posted a 1 star review where I rave about the product. Bet that confused the folks.

Bar hopper? Are you kidding? The SuperGlide is probably the best ''all around, do it all'' motorcycle Harley makes.

There are always better bikes out there but none will ever be a HD Super Glide.

I think Cycle World did a "cruiser comparison" a few months ago with a Dyna versus a Star versus a Victory. Even though the Dyna was slowest, had the weakest brakes, and was the most expensive, each tester chose the HD as the one they'd buy with their own money.
