Can't decide between the Train or the Bob.Which do you feel would be more comfortable for the long haul?

 

Flip a coin. heads= train. tails=bob. try to ride one of each and then decide which one fiills the best to you.[8D]

 

Max: Hard to say. There are alot of variables. Your body type may be the biggest factor. I have a bob and from the second I sat in the seat I knew that it was my bike. It just fit! It has mid controls and my legs made perfect right angles. The mini ape hangers put my hands just below the shoulder. The seats are not the most comfortable but you can, of course change it or do a gel seat. The concept of the bob is the old school, stripped down bike, built for speed and cruising around town. So you dont have all of the "frills" and gadgets you may want on a long trip. That depends on your taste. But, your own body is going to determine what is best. All of my prior street experience was on Softails, both fat boys and Heritage. I, of course, love them but I am only around 6'.0 and 185 lbs. I just dont need a "big" ride. The bob handles like a dream and the balance and agility is second to none. I love the bike. Hope this helps. Good luck choosing.

Needs a different seat, but the Bob is great w/fwds

 

based on looks alone- i prefer the train

 

I faced this same decision. The Black Denim Night Train with a blacked out motor is about the sexiest bike on the planet! But something to be said about keepin' it old skool, I felt so mucher better on a bob than the night train. Try em' both! Your going to turn heads with both!

 

The Train is probably better suited for long hauls than the Bob. If it were my choice I'd get a Bob in Vivid Black with forwards. I love the looks of the Bob.

 

I just traded in my '06 Bob for an '07 Train. Both are fun, but I feel a little more comfortable on the Train... I'd follow the advice already given and get in the seat of each to see how it feels for you.

 

I prefer the soft tail but I would have to go with which ever one fit me the best. That's the most important.

 

Comfortable for the long haul? Only thing that comes to mind is a bagger!
