I don't miss what I don't have or intend to buy.

 

How do you miss dynas? Did you have one leave you for another ma, pass away, get a job in a different town and leave...?

They are still sitting at dealerships, Craigslist, etc. They didnt all vanish in August. They will be around for 30+ more years.

mine is still sitting in the garage. ...

exactly...

 

I have a Switchback, and while I haven't ridden one yet, from everything I've read, the new Softtails pretty much rectify the criticisms I have with my bike. Now if they could only produce a variant that I actually like. Had high hopes on the Sport Glide, but what it has turned out to be is very far from what I was expecting/hoping.

 

I did at first when they flushed the Dynas down the toilet, but after falling back in love with my old Road king I don't care any more. Now if my Road King kicks the bucket, I'll start thinking about a Heritage.

 

I'm indifferent about it...doesn't bother me in the slightest and I certainly wouldnt be losing sleep over it. I wouldn't care if they brought them back either. Personally I think they will, but in a similar way where theyre going to redesign it and call it a dyna....even though its hardly the same bike. Just like the soft tail.

 

There is nothing superior about a twin cam Dyna compared to a 2018 Softail except if a person prefers the styling.

There is a greater possibility of bringing back the FXR than the Dynas simply for nostalgia’s sake but even that is not going to happen.

There are plenty of Dynas on the market for reasonable prices right now. But one or a few. Just because no new ones are being built doesn’t mean existing ones vanished into thin air.

Think about what us Evo riders do. We still ride, modify, etc. And we do it on the cheap. It’s been a long time since an Evo or Shovel rolled out of the HD assembly line yet plenty of folks still ride them.

 

No plans on selling my Superglide, I love having a bike that has the same name of a Shovel I could not afford in 1971.

 

Personally, I hate softails. I've owned one, and couldn't wait to get rid of it. I'm not sure about the new softail line, but I definitely don't like the solid mount, counter balanced engines. Too "metric" for me. I've owned three dynas, and loved them all. I have a Street glide now, but would love to have a Super Glide Custom in the garage. I've always thought the FXDC was the BEST all around Harley the company makes..............so, yea.......I'll miss the dynas.

 

I was mad. Then I rode one. I'm over it.

 

how many new softails did you ride? They handle Better than dynas... no question about. Perform better too. Nothing like the old scrapetails that couldnt take a corner.
^this ^



here we go, another silly i hate new things thread but, with a twist. Now we also somehow miss things that are sitting infront of our faces. I miss my sportster standard and dyna wide glide because harley stopped ... even thouhg i ride them daily.....
