Softail is a model of HD (not a description for bikes with shocks) and yes, not all bikes are HDs that is why the comment that most bikes are Softails is ridiculous.

 

Really stuck on the Harley thing, aren't we...

 

Yes since it is a registered trademark of Harley and is a model of their bike then yea it pretty much tells you what a Softail is. Pretty simple when you're not on crack.

 

but this is the internets! haha

did anyone notice that one of the bikes has a RB Racing exhaust?

no offense to pig in a blanket. i see both points. the dyna has a sprung suspension as well as a softail. though i did see a dyna with rigid plates in place of the shocks. would that make it a sort of hard tail?

 

Again, a Softail is a model of HD with hidden rear suspension to emulate a hardtail bike. A Dyna is not a Softail. A Dyna with it's shocks removed is still a Dyna but with a hardtail suspension on back.

 

Even more simple when we stay in our own little world.

I will admit the spelling Softail, looks like a Harley product.
You and I both know that this isn't a show about Harley's for Harley riders.
But I'm easily as hard-headed as you, and have no problems killing time this way.

 

The spelling of Softail looks like a Harley product?
That's because it is indeed a Harley product. You crack me up. Pun intended.

 

Not 'emulate'.
Look like. If it 'emulates' a hardtail, it performs like one.

ARRRRRRGH!!!
You just said it!
It's NOW A Hardtail built out of a Dyna!
LOL!

apples and oranges...

 

Softail isn't a real word. It's a trademarked name.

 

Yea, and it's a trademarked HD name. You are indeed stubborn even though you are wrong. I'll let it end here though since I already stated what a Softail is and you don't want to listen.Have fun on your Softail Dyna Low Rider.
