I was thinking very seriously about buying a new Dynaglide but can't
believe they only equate to around 70hp. Shit my Triumph Bonneville
has more hp than that and is a third less in weight. OK the argument
could be made that they are for touring on at a leisurely pace. But I
think I would like a bit more lower end power. Bout time HD cranked
them a bit hire isn't it or are they trying to make extra bucks with
the screaming eagle head kits.?
Maybe the new street rods are the way to go but I like the older retro
looking bikes.

Harleys are over priced, over weight, and under powered. That's the way it
is.
