Now that I've done the Sporty thing and the Softail thing, I'm ready for something a little more different. I'm look'n to get one of these. A Big Dog Pitbull! Aint that just beautiful! This one is a 2006.

 

I agree harleygold that is one sweet bike. I like that prostreet style. I plan to build my next bike.

 

If you are looking for something that will 'tour' all day long, day after day, but still be comfortable and not have the weight and size of the huge "touring bikes", it's hard to go wrong with the Softail FatBoy.

I have the Harley detachable windshield, leather bags, and sissy bar/storage rack, and it can go from stripped down cruiser to full dress tour mode in a couple of minutes.

 

I rode a Big Dog,the dealer insisted,and could not believe how comfortable it was to ride, and the power Wow. But$35K to 40K is hard to swallow, we'll see. Anyway, I'll keep my Sporty, much too fun in twisties and around town, looking for acruise/tour bike for long rides now that my woman wants to ride (not 2-up, been there done that). I'm looking for a Heritage Softail or Road King at present and seeing some really good buys this time of year. Got a couple of months to decide and find a best buy.

 

One word:

Low Rider!!

That's two words... [8D]

 

I'll keep my Sportster, thank you very much! I use it for basic transportation in the good weather as well as touring (so far up to 1,800 miles). Most of my riding is in 300-mile daily round trips but I plan on a cross-country trip from NJ to Portland, Oregon, on up to BC, and then back home through Canada this coming summer or next. My XL1200R suits me fine for everything I ask of it, and then some...
