Just joined this forum so sorry if this question has been asked 1000 times before.

I'm considering a new HD. I own a 2000 Sportster XL. It runs great BUT I'd just like to try something a little different, even if it's another Sportster. I know I need to test ride a new Sportster and Dyna before I decide but in the meantime I'd appreciate any input as to why I should get a Dyna vs another Sportster.....cost notwithstanding.

Here's a little background. I never ride 2 up. 99% of my riding is day trips of 100 to 200 miles, most of which is not on the super slab. I don't ride aggressively....I'm too old for that...lol.

Thanks in advance

 

Buy a new RK (at least test ride one). Then buy a used Shovelhead FXB ... just because you're old enough to appreciate it.

 

Go down and ride ALL the bikes on the lot, then you can narrow it down. Then come back and tell us which one you bought...lol

 

Sportster vs Dyna??? Yer kiddin' right?

 

Yeah really, who the hell would buy a Dyna?

 

Dyna. 100%.

 

awww, cmon Sgt. I gots both

 

To me, there's not really enough difference to make that switch. As previously mentioned, I'd look at a Softail or Touring model.

 

Sportsters rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i loved my sportster(s) but I made the mistake (IMHO) of buying another sporty when i wanted a new bike. Then lost money when I made the jump to my wide glide. I have no problems riding 7 hours on the wide glide - even two up. If sporty's are your thing dude - go with that, but my suggestion is the dyna.
