What are the differences between the Harley Davidson Sportster and the Harley Davidson Dyna?
Looking through the Harley Davidson catalog of motorcycles I can’t figure out what the specific differences are between the Dyna and the Sportster such that the Dyna costs about $6000 more. What do you get for this extra $6000? Also, is the Sportster really just “a Woman’s bike”? Are men who ride them mocked by other Harley owners?
The Sportster is a smaller lighter bike with a smaller motor,(883) or (1200) The motor, primary drive and trans are all a shared unit. The Dyna is a “Big Twin” 80″ (1340) or an 88″ for newer models.The motor is a unit, the primary drive is a unit and the trans is a unit. The Dyna is a longer ,bigger and heavier bike than the sporty. Sportsters are ( usually) a first Harley, a stepping stone to a big twin. Some never out grow them but most do. My old lady rode her 1200 for a year or so,then we got her a FXR which is similar( But superior ) to the Dyna. These days I see many chicks on big bikes so as a woman you may start on a Sportster and graduate to a Big Twin just like the boys do. And yes guys who ride Sporties from time to time will get some grief for it.
