One of both. I am 58 and have a bagger and a dyna. Both have their uses. One is my daily to work and back and the other is for the long haul.

 

I'm 60, and ride an '06 Superglide. Ride the he!! out of it! 120+K mi. on the clock. But I spent some bucks getting it where I want it.

I do a lot of commuting (80+ mi. a day) and 2-3 trips a year. That being said, If I knew then what I know now, I'd be riding a Road King Classic.

Still admire the RK, and plan on getting one soon. But, there's no way I'll ever part with the Superglide. They're just too damn much fun to ride!

I have it "baged", wind screened, passing lights and FLD foot boards but everything is QD so it comes off easy for a cleaner look when I get to my destination.

Kind of like an earlier version of the FLD. And, it's not bad on a longer trip. (350-400) per day 3-4 days out and back.

I go back and forth. I have an Ultra and a wide glide. Usually on the WG when by myself or the wife is on hers but on the ultra when 2 up and on trips

 

Sounds like the SB will be a great fi for you.

 

Too old for the bagger? I’m in my “young” 50s and the Limited is used for work, weekend runs, whatever. I’m only 5’8” and really don’t have any major issues with handling the beast. Of course the Lowdown seat helps and 1” lower shocks would be a plus but that’s not a show stopper. There are times I wouldn’t mind having a Dyna also just for daily running but can’t really afford both, as of now. For my personal use (if I had to take just one) it would be my Limited.

BL, I don’t look at any of the model bikes as too young or old, it’s what you want and screw what anyone else thinks.

 

61 here and rode a Street Glide a while and changed to a Road Glide. Both were nice but often felt I was just along for the ride with them. Totally different with my FXDC. I ride it and feel I am in control of the ride, now. To me the rides are much more fun now, and I'm not in as much of a hurry to get to my destinations. tp/dd50

 

Ditto! I have had my 2010 RK for a year now and really like riding it. BUT....!
There is no sportiness at all to the FLH series. You can turn them into New School or Old School. They are great for the "long haul"

But man there are days that I really miss my 09VRod - It was fast and diff
and "FUN TO RIDE"!!!!!!!!!

I do not know if I'll get another VRod but I would consider a Dyna - I spend time on the Dyna forum following you guys and there are some really cool bikes here, I especially like the OldSchool look that is popular with Dyna

This is one of my favorites:

 

I mold

 

I'm 32, 5'7" and about 160 pounds. I am not what most would consider "old, tall, or big" enough for a bagger, but I rode a Road Glide until I traded it in for my FXD. I loved the big bike, but it didn't make sense for my normal ride. I commute about 15 minutes to and from work and on my days off, I do a do runs that are usually only a few hours at most. The rest is all just around town riding. I'd say ride whatever you will enjoy the most. I think too few riders think about what the bike actually has to offer besides looks and style. I wanted a bike that I could easily manuver and park in tight spots in the city. The bagger wasn't the right bike for that. That beig said, if I ever decide to cross the country in my bike, I'll certainly miss the Road Glide!

Ride what you like and keep the shiny side up!

 

I rode a new bagger this year for a bit. most boring *** bike I have ever been on , I was so happy to hop back on my wideglide I was pissing myself
