So I took them up on the trade in program and got a Superglide, and after a month of riding it I think I prefer the sportster. I had an 883, and the money I put down on the Dyna would have been enough to do the engine upgrade.

I do like some of the features that I lacked on the Sportster, and the larger tank is nice, but if I had to do it over again I would keep the Sportster.

 

Well, if it helps, you can always get your money back when you sell providing you didn't pay too much in the trade.

For future ref, never bite any 'deal' any maker offers when they are struggling to survive......brush off any hand from anyone who is drowning and swim alone.

 

Well, as they say, different strokes for different folks.

The Sportsters are nice bikes, but the SuperGlides are very nice as well.....

 

I like the lowrider better than the SG, but I'll hang on to the sporty....

 

shouldve went with a deluxe

 

I can see it, I rode all the models at the last demo days and was most happy back on mine for the ride home.
Place an ad in the classified to trade back to a Sportster, there is sure to be someone willing to pay to "trade up".

 

I hear ya! My wife told me I could go get my Deluxe and the dealer was begging me to trade in my Sportster... I didn't even consider it. I now own both of my favorite bikes and I'm sooooooooooooooooo happy I didn't trade it in. My wife can't understand why I don't want to trade it for another Deluxe. Damn women...they just don't get it.

 

It's not really as bad as the title sounds, that's what Job from Arrested Development used to always say. The bike isn't bad, I just liked the Sportster a little better.

 

I just up'ed to a night train and couldn't be happier. I loved the sportster, but the softail gives a much better ride.

 

man sportys are great! one of my fav bikes... come hang out a bit int he dyna section man there is A TON of stuff you can do to that scoot to get it to handle like a beast!
