Default Dyna or Softail

Been riding an SV650S for a year now, and if you haven't ridden one I'm here to tell you that they are great bikes - provided you aren't travelling over 50 miles!

It's time to go to the dark side and buy a nice cruiser. I would really like your input between the Dyna Super Glide and the Softail Deuce. I like the styling of both, but I haven't been able to ride either and I'd love to hear anyone's view of what they consider the MAJOR differences between the riding style of these two bikes....

Not sure about your "dark side" comment... Riding is the bright side. If you're looking to flame or troll, it won't be tolerated.

TNW, if you do SEARCH with the SEARCH button up top, you'll see your question has been asked many times over.

Rent them both, ride them both, go with what suits you best.

No, actually, it is extremely common for someone in a certain group that is considering abandoning that group to call that switch "going to the dark side". It would be the same thing for a Harley rider to join the sport bike crowd. Obviously, you have a stick up your *** or are too goddamn stupid to understand vernacular English. How the hell could that be considered trolling or flaming?

Also, I already used the search function extensively and DIDN'T find the answer to my question. Clearly you shouldn't be an administrator because it is the only power you will ever wield in life and thus take it WAY too seriously. I asked a serious question and what you gave me was useless garbage....
