Switchback for a dude?
First off... no disrespect intended...
My son, 5'9, 200 lbs is looking at a new switchback.
Although he loves it, I was wondering if that bike size would be geared for a guy?
bottom line.... any guys here ride a switchback? What says you?

You can get a Switchback for your son...if he wears a wig, make-up and gets implants before riding it...
JK, it's an awesome bike for "anyone" so have him take one for a test drive.

I didn't know Harley was making desperate men and women's bikes....
I love it, bike that size. My FXR is smaller, AND superior.
You must ride a bagger.

Agreed. Its a dyna, why wouldn't it be a good bike for a guy. I knew a guy that was like 300lbs and rode a 1200 sportster. Your son will be fine at 200lbs on a dyna. If you think a switchback or any dyna wouldn't be good for a "dude", you need to check your ego.

No problem. Come on back and poke the hornets nest again sometime.
On a serious note, I believe your intended question was, can a rider of that size tour that bike comfortably.
The answer, yes.
