    Hi all,
    I'm in the market for my first Harley.  I was looking at a Dyna superglide as it look quite nice but then  i sat on a Fatboy and loved the feel , comfort and low centre of gravity which made it appear easier to handle.  My question is... are Fatboys easy enough to handle.  I weigh 75 kg , not a big bulky guy but love the look of the Fatboy but not sure if its for me.  The salesman encouraged me to sit on it, as he thought I'd like it, and he was right.  What do you guys think?  I am coming off a Honda Firestorm ( 1000cc V-Twin which weighs 200kg   The fat boy is 310kg approx. ).

    If it looks right and feels right to you then thats the one for you. It's going to be different to the honda so take your time and enjoy.

    Fatboy looks better. 
    Dyna goes and handles better. 

    You can buy all sorts of seats, pegs, handlebar adjustments etc to make any bike fit and be comfortable.

    Honestly who cares. Ride one of each and make up your own mind. Buy a Tourer straight away and save yourself the heartache.
