Default Street Bob vs. Fat Bob vs. Night Train

I know that it's ultimately going to depend on what feels best to me, but I was hoping to gather a little pros and cons on these bikes.&nbsp\\; A bit about me...25, had a bike in college that I rode infrequently so not a vet by any means, just finished the Rider's Edge Course...5'9" 200 lbs.&nbsp\\; What's your vote?

Street Bob, and the new 09 is only $13K MSRP.&nbsp\\; Best&nbsp\\;bang for the buck&nbsp\\;of the bikes you listed.

I might catch some flack from my Dyna brethren [sm=boink3.gif], but I vote Night Train.

Ofcourse you could always buy a left over 08 Wide Glide! [sm=icon_rock.gif]

I think the fat bob and street bob requires less modifications to look truly great. The night train does not look truly ok when left original but with a few modifications they look fantastic. Tose three are my personal favourites but I myself got a Fat Bob.

If we're talking 09's, then get the Train.
