SuperLow or 72

Looking for a bike for my wife, she is 5'2 with 32" inseam. We went to the dealer, she sat on all the models. The SuperLow and 72 were the best fit. My experience/history is with Softails and Touring models. I am looking for advice/opinions of these two bikes from those who own them.

thanks

I'm also 5'2" and have a Superlow. If I were going to be riding around town, country rides on the weekend, I'd go with the '72 - I really like it. But, I will be doing some longer trips and liked the larger gas tank on the Superlow and went with that and have no regrets. I'm very happy with my choice.

So, I guess it depends on what type of riding she'll be doing. But, of course, like the above poster said - what she likes.

The 72 is pretty sharp looking

Mrs B chose a SuperLow. The 72 is intended as a more extreme custom bike, which will be fine for short trips IMHO, but not as comfortable or suitable for longer ones.

I love my super low but I'd have her take a test ride on both. She will like one over the other. My fiancé has a iron and we HATE each others bikes lol
