I demo'd a Softail standard, it was the worst bike I've ever ridden. My kidney's hurt after 15 minutes and my wrists started to ache because the bars are at a terrible angle. I'd rather ride a hardtail. Plus the balanced engine in it was a stage 1 and it was so sluggish compared to my superglide with a V&H 2 into 1. As soon as I started to rev the engine it would vibrate more as the RPM went up, it felt like someone was banging on the frame with a hammer.

I've ridden over 900 miles in a day on my superglide and felt like I could do it forever. Personally I would never consider a softail, only dyna's and the touring bikes.

 

My father has a 84' fxrs. When i bought my bike, i bought a bob, and now my step mom learned to ride and she now owns a superglide so here it is..... Dyna all the way old or new!! I love the handling but it is easy to scrape the pipes because it can do so much more then those things allow. Go dyna you will be satisfied. **THIS IS A BIAS COMMENT**

 

let me make it easy . one word DYNA.
