what do I choose

I want to buy a dyna. I can't decide between the fxdx because it is the best handling harley or something like a 2007 superglide with the bigger engine and 6 speed trans. Any opinions out there would be appreciated.

I guess I am not getting the question? You seem to asking, "should I get one superglide, or another?"

My opinion...if you are dead set on getting a superglide, check them both out and get the one you like best.

The newer frame, 2006 to present, is definitely better.

I'd like the old Dyna Sport, looks good.

Not so keen on skinny front tyres....

The 88" actually has better gearing. The DX is a good handling bike but not the best dyna...that would be the FXR.

Either way, I don't think you'll be unhappy. Enjoy your new dyna whichever it is.

@dvm...I don't recall 'bagger' being an option here.

Looking at the various models' specs will allow you to compare those aspects which greatly affect handling: suspension travel, rake, trail, tire size... Learn how these differences relate to the type of riding you do. For example, with more rake you would expect to sacrifice quick-handling in favor of greater straight-line stability.

You must do your own due diligence. Then a specific model will have greater appeal to you.
