More Bang Less Bucks

That's why the Mothership pulled this line in '09. Bottom line on this bike is lower than the company desires because there are so many items already chromed, a proper amount of required guages, etc., and so their after market sales are low in comparison to the basic Dyna Super Glide. When you start... having a bad case of chrome-envy at the local Friday Night Burger hang out, it'll really start costing you and the company makes alot more bucks when sold by the piece cause everythings $50. and up...steeply UP. Now I'll quit the rant and do the review.

I've had a few Harleys over the past 20 years. The first one was a FXR basically the predecessor to the new one but really not even close in the "out of the box" performance, handling, safety and quality, not to mention reliability categories, although I have only covered 4000 miles and if my aircraft mechanic instincts are correct this is one long range reliable road warrior. I've owned: FXR, 1200 Sporty C Springer Softail, Dyna Super Glide, Ultra Classic Electra Gide and without exception this bike wins out and I haven't added cams or even exhaust mods as I did on the other bikes. Also, have you checked prices for these bikes? They've come down and so the value is there in this market. or, you can buy a Dresser with Cruise Control and spend double the money. No, for the price of some saddle bags and a removable windshield this is the best investment in the Harley line and the classic old school look will NEVER lose it's appeal. The Low Rider is OLD SCHOOL NEW TECH. Read Full Review

What a ride

I just traded my 2009 Harley Sportster 1200 low (yup, you read right) for my 2009 Dyna. I had just 200 miles on it. I havent riden in about 17 years and I thought getting the Sportster was the way to go being my last bike was a 750 Kawasaki LTD style. I loved my Sporty, dont get me wrong, handeled g...reat, had tons of power..but I felt that I needed something with a little more heft to it. Dont know why I didnt look at the Dyna's in the first place. I sat on it and it felt just right. At first I thought my husband was going to ask for a divorce lol. Because of Harleys buy back program on the Sportsters it made it attainable. It was the only way I could do it and I am so glad I did. I have had my Dyna for 3 weeks now, I have put on a windshield,forward controls and they make a world of difference in the comfort on the ride. I do every now and then have trouble with the kick stand but am getting better finding it lol and the turn signal controls I sometimes have trouble reaching (smaller hands) but all in all I am so very happy with my Black Dyna, Thanks Harley, and hubby.

why did HD stop making them?

I started looking for a new bike about 6 months ago (haven't owned 1 for 20 years) and decided I wanted a low rider, but HD has quit making them for 2010.

If they're so great why are they discontinued? Read Full Review

2009 HD Dyna Low Rider

Black Pearl, forward controls, V&H Radial pipe, Stage one performance kit, plus several other extra's, just hair over 17,000 out the door ... This is my first H/D road bike & all I can say what a blast to ride, and the handling is wonderful!



Have a little over 1,300 miles on the bike now,... with my longest day ride of 310 miles. Bike handles so well, with great comfort, all this with a 59 year old man behind the handlebars ... Can't think of any negative issues & would rate this bike the "PERFECT 10" in cruiser type bikes! Read Full Review
