Given the choice, which would you go for and why?

 

I went with the wide glide because I felt I fit better on it being 6'3 & 220lbs.

 

Wide glide for the ride, nightster for the look

 

wide glide hands down. i just like the way they ride plus sixth gear is a must

 

Tough one. Kinda different bikes. Nightster will be more agile, Wide Glide is better as a cruiser and ususally more comfortable.

 

wide glide.......

 

Two vastly different bikes right there. Bang for your buck? nightster wins
with the right engine mods and its inherent agility its a quick little bike. But being little is kind of a drawback. Even with my small frame (5'5") i want at least a dyna. I had an xl883 for all of two weeks before i wanted a big twin and bigger frame.

Over all value? Wide glide is hard to beat though... dyna frame gives it great handling too along with big twin power. Styling goes to the wg for sure. Price? Nighster wins, but pound for pound.... id personally choose the wide glide every day of the week.

 

I love the Nightster (man it's hard to believe it's no longer made!) It's just too small for me as far as ergonomics, and it's harder to tour on. I wish I could get by with a Nightster.

To be honest, Wide Glide styling does little for me, and I chose a Fat Bob and it's been the best bike I've ever owned.

 

WideGlide.....sportsters are for chicks

 

Tough choice, I've had a Dyna now for six years and I'm kinda sick of it, the Sporty looks more fun but most of my riding on the Harley is two up so I'd have to go with the wide glide.I'd rather have some kind of bagger than either one.
