What is it that you like about the model HD you have?
#21
Not trying to start some kind of flame war about why X model is better than X model. I'm ready to trade in my sporty for something else, and I'm just genuinely interested in why everyone likes the model Harleys they ride. So what are some things about your ride that you love?
03 Fatboy, 100th anniversary bike. Fatboy is an iconic HD, very cool looking, For many years it was the best selling model. It was my first New Harley. Great bike for local rides, but have rode it on some long trips. More of a styling and profiling type bike.
13 CVO Road King, 110th Anniversary bike. In my opinion the most versatile harley. Strip the windshield off and you have a nice around town bike. Put wind shield on, add luggage rack and its a great touring bike, been to Canada on it and Key West. Handles and rides better than the fatboy, and will corner much faster. It's my hot rod, built the motor to 117 ci and 138 hp and 140 torque.
17 CVO Street glide. New 114 M8 engine which is great. I have the street glide CVO because Harley did not make a CVO road glide for 17. It's a very nice bike, corners very well is great for long trips. However I like a Road Glide better, because it handles better at slow speeds. The Road glide also handles cross winds and high winds better.
I have had 4 CVO road glides, this is my first Street Glide. I will be trading it for a CVO Road glide in 18 if HD comes out with one for 18.
I would love to have a 16 or 17 low rider S. A true hot rod that handles great.

1956 FLH, Kick only bike. Riding this bike is all about the bike,nothing to do with love of the road, its all about the machine. If your going to ride it you have to understand it. Manual everything, Rides like its on rails. Bike is just easy and fun to ride.
1969 FL, kick and elec, This bike is foot clutch hand shift and like its older brother riding is all about the bike. more power with a plush ride because of pogo seat and swingarm suspension. Every time I ride its about me getting it right, the bike challenges me.
2017 Road Glide Special, this bike is amazing and a blast to ride. It does everything so well. With this one, the ride is not just about the bike but the road and all that it brings. Lets go see America, Take the wife along. Or Just Blast around town, it does it all. Best bike Ever.

The Dyna Superglide looks retro, like the HD I wanted in the '70's. Big bike 103 engine without all the heavy gadgets and fairings on the touring bikes. It's easier to clean and service while having a smaller foot print and better lean angle.
It also has easy to remove bags and windshield when I want to ride naked.
Less is more.
