In a perfect world, everyone would have a bagger for long trips, a softail to ride with their old lady, an old FXR for nostalgia, and a sporty for rippin' to the bar. Ride what you like. (or what you can afford in most cases)

Well, I will admit to loving the vibration at idle on the Dyna. I love my Heritage, but I really did love that feature... Don't ask me why, because I don't think I could explain it.

My dad had a Dyna Super Glide, a 2013, and I wasn't a fan of it. It smoothed out as soon as you hit the gas, but there was a buzz in the handlebars right at the RPM I liked to cruise at, which meant I had to deal with it, or ride at a lower or higher constant RPM.
