I can tell you that the new M8 softail are mechanically better bikes than the Dynas. I swapped a much loved and heavily performance modded 2014 Fat Bob for a 2018 Fat Bob and the 2018 bike is just plain better in every way. Better ride, better handling, better motor, better brakes, better electrics.

No regrets.

Default Oh well

Not a newbie to the bike world SON. If you have a whip to look cool and never want to use it for what its intended...DONT USE IT. Would you fly red and white bc u thought you were cool? I bet you would.

I appreciate a fat front tire when dealing with Massachusetts roads.

hey man. I have had the “privilege” of living there. As long as democrats control MA the roads will continue to suck and the taxes will increase. Taxachussetts. Your either poor or rich and everyone acts better than everyone else. A liberal cest pool. TRUMP 2020

What the actual foxtrot are you on about?? Did you get your threads crossed? Does this happen often? Are you off your meds? Read the thread title, then your post, then MY post, then this post.... try to get back on track.

"Son". That's cute.

I fixed the attributes for you! Also, it would be nice if you stopped shouting in bold all the time.

Anyway....looks are subjective, but performance and handling are objective ( I know....you shouldn't really buy Harleys if that's what you like). The new Softails are just better bikes than even the late model Dynas, no matter what they look like. As a Dyna and new Softail owner I feel qualified to make a somewhat objective assessment. They aren't perfect, but they are better. Go ride a few....you may be surprised.

Default I value that

I use BOLD text so you know its me. I dont subscribe to social norms. As far as performance goes It depends on the riders SKILL to operate the machine effectively. Any ahole can get a sick engine/bike. Looks are subjective thats why I dont **** every chick that walks by
