I up graded from a 08 Nightster to a 09 Rocker, Softtail . I wish i had never wasted money on the Nightster . It looks good but has the worst ride . I was about to just give up on HD's thinking that thay all had a bad ride . It was so bad with vibrations and bone jaring rear shocks .
Any way .. So glad i tried the Rocker . Its like night and day . Smooth ride . Now i cant wait to ride .
I bought both bikes used , thay both had low miles , less than 5000 . So i an still breaking it in .
Good luck on picking your new bike .

Dyna bikes are a nice upgrade. Best bike for the dollar. I would stay away from 2006 big twins. I believe that was the year they had a bad bearing in the engine ( I think it was called the primary bearing ) and the stators would self destruct. Both costly repairs.

LOOK out for dynas? hahahaha.. whatever u say
look bro 12k miles is nothing..... like the other guys said. they arnt broken in til that high. 25k is still low for a well maintaned bike. For the post look out for dynas.... hahah i cant laugh enough. i have a dyna with 60k on it. rides to sturgis every year.. never trailored.. o and i run nitrous threw it weekly.. o and i have cam an head work.. making the sleeve thinner should raise an eye right esp running nitrous ( on a dyna)... well i got news for you..my dyna starts everytime i want it to. runs perfect at 60k, and i pull away from street bikes sorry asses up into the 1000cc all day long. so ya.. you take care of a bike it will take care of you. doesnt mater what kind it is.. someone who is gonna tell you a dyna is worse than a duece and bagger is better than a this or worse than a that.... give me a break. do they know bikes? take care of what you get. everyone has a pref of the perfect bike. but only you will ride yours. later. goodluck
