Dyna vs Sportster
I am looking to get my first bike. I thought as a beginner (5'9'' 165) that the sportster would be the obvious first choice. However I have just finished test riding both the Sportster 1200N and the Dyna low rider. I was actually amazed how well the bigger Dyna handled. I actually felt much more secure and balanced on the bigger Dyna than the Sportster.
I hope this helps anyone else in the same dilemma of deciding the right first purchase. Don't be intimidated by the larger bike. Test ride both.

I'm 5'8" and 170 lbs and I thought that the Sporty was too small. But the Dyna Street Bob was just right, so that's what I bought. Had it for 2 years and no thoughts of trading it for anything else.

Get the Dyna! I started with a Sporty and traded it after 30 days! The Dyna is better in every way and doesn't cost too much more. I drive a Street Bob and love it. The Sportster was pretty but just didn't perform well.
