Us old guys don't buy much anymore. How old is your bike Dicky ?
Uhh yeah they do. Not the old FLH baggers with studs, but 10, 20, or 30-year old Dynas they do. Holy crap they sell like hot cakes and have actually APPreciated. When has anything you ever bought on wheels actually appreciated? HD had no clue when they killed the dynas. I have yet to see the new frame hold value or even sell as well. All the dealers near me have tons of 18+ softails yet can't keep dynas or real softails in stock. Wonder why that is. . . .

Put me down as one who thinks it looks exactly like a Honda VLX. In other words, I really don't like it.......at all. Hey, HD, bring back the Dyna Super Glide, huh?

Dynas are selling like crazy here to prices are way up on them . Dont understand why Harley killed the Dynas either they are looking to attract younger buyers . The Dyna was very popular with younger riders and they quit making them .

2004 Night Train on the left. 2020 Softail Standard on the right.

Smaller tank and less seat on the latter, but honestly looks about the same to me. Looks like a Harley
