If it's between a sporty or a dyna,I'd go with the dyna.If for no other reason,a six speed tranny.Plus some XL's don't have a rider pad.And the dyna is just more of a bike.I've had superglide custom,and a wide glide,once you ride a dyna,I don't think you'll even want a sporty.I got my XL883 cause I didn't have the $ for a dyna.But HD in their infinite wisdom,had a deal where if you traded you XL in on any big vtwin they'd give you original list.I jumped on that! They gotta be new though.
