Tall(ish) Man in search of the perfect Harley
#15
Thank you all again, really appreciated!
May I post a link to a bike I found online (didn't have a chance to travel there to see it in real yet):
Sorry its all in german. What I am wondering, is the Night Train a possible Bike for taller people? I really like the looks of it:

I would love to read some thoughts.

Thanx guys, I am very happy with all the support you get here!
I will go and check out this bike in Zurich.
There is only one worry I have: its a 2008 model with no miles, which means it was standing in the shop for 3 yrs. Might this be a problem? What do I have to look for?
All the oil etc should be exchanged after 3 yrs, right?

The Softail forward foot position does not seem to be quite as far forward as the Dyna forward foot position in my estimation (it may be in reality, I have not taken a measurement) ... so, as Soft 02 suggests, it may be worthwhile to use a 3" extension if you end up getting the Night Train ....
If the Night Train you're looking at has "0" miles ... I am not sure why you'd be worried that the oil is 3 years old ... it was in the ground for a million years ... what's another 3 years ...? I think the only reason it would be a concern for me is if the seller told me it had been started and run for 5 minutes once a week for the past 3 years ....
The Night Train is a good looking bike ... I think it comes down to what you are looking for and what your decision parameters/constraints are ... how sensitive to pricing, value for the money spent, etc. ....
I think generally the Dynas are one of the best values ... also, as someone who is 6'3" and has tried Softail and Touring models, I find the Dynas fit a tall rider better (forward controls are needed, in my opinion) ....
Good luck with your decision ....

Foot position options on the WG won't be any different than the rest of the Dyna line, they all have the same mounting points on the frames.
