Smile Dyna's vs other bikes in terms of smooth ride?

Have you ridden other bikes and if you have, how smooth were they compared to your dyna?? I have owned several bikes, Honda's, yamaha's, etc and my low rider seems to be smoother than they were..Just curious if anyone else feels this way............Thanks

Had a 2001 Kawasaki vulcan classic smooth ride very underpowered. Love my 03 wide glide with S&S super E rineharts forcewinder and andrews cams. 95 kit next.

at about 60 m.p.h., in 5th, this bike feels ,,,,,"solid". like sitting on a rock. never felt that on anything else.

I think my old Yamaha 650 Maxim may have been smoother than my Street Bob but I had it back in 1985 so I can't really remember too good
The Street Bob is definately smoother riding than my 05 Sportster was though.

My BMW R1150R had a substantially smoother suspension at 45 mph+ and could soak up bigger bumps without transmitting them to me. It also felt more "solid" at speed....but it was less fun to ride. My Dyna is smooth enough and just feels great cruising at a more relaxed pace than the BMW wanted to run.

My Dyna IS smoother and more comfortable than my other BMW, an R1200C, my Buell M2 or my Sportster.
