Default First Harley? (also posted in Dyna)

I currently have a 2004 Honda Intercptor and while it is an excellent bike, I regret not buying a Harley. The Interceptor is not real comfortable on long rides and there is just something about a Harley.

There are several deals at the local dealer and I am thinking of getting a 2007 Super Glide with detachable windshield, sissy bar, passenger seat, and forward controls. I ride to work every day I can and take some day rides and once or twice a year I go on an overnight trip.

There is also a used 2005 V Rod available for $12500 with 3000 miles. I haven't seen it in person yet but from pictures it looks pretty good and that is a lot of bike for the price.

I like the look of both and have always had a soft spot for the V Rod and for the Dyna line. It's financially simpler to get the new bike from the dealer as they will take my old bike in trade and handle the financing.

I am interested in ride comfort, style, and the rumbly Harley sound. Having typed that, I think the Super Glide would be a good choice but any other opinions would be welcome!!

Separate yourself from the crowd,go with the v-rod.I myself came from a honda,i needed serious performance to go with the Harley name.3 months ago i purchased a 03,anniversary v-rod,ive since added a 240 rear tire ,a c.f.r exhaust(and i have that rumble)but with its own distinct sound.I get compliments everywhere i go.Im just mad at myself for not buying one sooner! I love being around other harleys and im the only v-rod....well not so much anymore, they are getting popular,DAMMIT.

I agree, the V Rod is a great choice.

My first Harely was Super Glide and it was very satisfying. Yet, I am even hapier with this '07 VRod.
