Default Dyna Wide Glide, Softail Deuce,Standard: is the ride similar?

What are the differences in ride & handling between a Dyna Wide Glide and Softail Deuce/Standard?

Does the Wide Glide feel similar to the Softails when riding?

Which do you prefer and why?

Are you talking about ride AND handling, or strictly ride?

Ride is way different. Motors are different, frames are different, suspension is different. Betwen the FXSTC and the FXSTD probably not that much but the FXDWG will bequite a bit.

To me Dynas feel more agile and a bit sportier. Softails feel a little more relaxed and smoother. Both are wonderful rides.
