Alright, I'll comment. I have the 2015 Dyna Street Bob. I've test ridden the M8 Street Bob twice. The new Milwaukee 8 engine is far, far, far, more smooth. What I mean to say is there is far less vibration and drama. My Dyna shakes and shifts when sitting there which is an element I rather like and feel the new one is lacking. It's not characterless, so to speak, but I miss the ridiculousness of a shaking beast. There's almost a comforting understanding that it exudes.
- When you accelerate with the new M8, you can literally feel the wheel moving behind your ass. No joke. You do not get that with the Dyna.
- The new seat, which is hit and miss to many, I found to be perfectly comfortable and supportive.
- The handling is vastly improved on the new M8. I deliberately tried to scrape the pegs, and couldn't manage to do so. Turning circle radius has improved.
- The suspension is FAR SUPERIOR with the M8. I took it over EVERY bump and road imperfection I could. Where the Dyna would buck you off your seat, the new M8, while you knew you went over a bump, would absorb the road imperfections fantastically.
- The brakes are awful for both. The new M8, I would guess is equally sucky. Why? Because that rear brake on your right foot is NON EXISTENT. I Would ride at 25MPH, clutch in, and press the rear brake to the floor as hard as possible and it WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. Might as well have put my foot on the concrete, though the front brake does have good bite with the new one.
-The stock sound sounded like a sewing machine which is to be expected. No real problem there if you decide to go for an aftermarket pipe.
FINAL VERDICT: The new one is BETTER in so many ways. Ultimately it is the better bike. But the soul that I like with my Dyna sways me to it - that and I put hella money into it. Still the new M8 is very good.
Both engines are not insane. You won't get hella adrenaline by pinning the throttle in first, but you can enjoy yourself, feel the smoothness, and cruise - and if necessary have the power to fly by guys. This has to be the longest comment ever. Love you all, give the new ones a shot.
Awesome comment. Thanks for watching.
Try adjusting the rear brake pedal to be a bit higher. H-D sets them so low that if you operate it by hand you can see that where the brake rod attaches to the pedal, it actually lifts that pin/rod end instead of pushing it rearward to operate the master cylinder. So adjust the rod - down at the cylinder end - to be longer. I noticed the problem before I bought my bike and set it correctly before leaving the dealership. They were a bit surprised that the first thing I did was work on the bike, and 'de-adjusted' it at the first (free) service. It's a case of the 'tech's myriad of knowledge' versus my 45+ years of riding and wrenching..... even the service manager told me that I have probably forgotten more than he knows ! Oh, and if you want to improve the handling/ loose the dreaded 'Dyna wobble' then invest in some decent engine mounts from Big Bear Performance or Chopper Hauss - they ain't cheap but will do more for your handling than new suspension. Then do the suspension and you will be amazed , fitting twin disc to the front works wonders as well - this can be done with Dyna Fatbob parts. Ride safe.
P.S. my (2000 MY) Streetbob has 113 inches and over 127bhp, 122ftlbs of torque.....
@Random dude A 'new era' bike has an electric motor and masses of torque but you can't go very far...... my point is that new things are not always what are wanted and as yet it is not mandatory to follow the crowd ........
Thanks for the comment. I've been avoiding the m8 soft tails, maybe I'll give one a try.
I don't know if anything will ever be better than a 2017 Dyna Low Rider S.
Test rode the m8 with a stage 2. No adrenaline? The freaking beast tried to rip me from the saddle in 4th gear and before i noticed, i was going 90 mph. Love it!
I bought the M8 Street Bob two weeks ago and I’m loving it , I should have bought a Harley-Davidson years ago instead of the CBR 600.
I ride a 2008 Dyna Low Rider with the 96 Twin Cam. I will keep this bike until the day I die. Bought it new. 12 years old now. I love it. I have been riding motorcycles since I was 11 years old. I am now 65. Of all the Harley's I have owned... this Dyna is the best Handleing bike I've owned. It's a keeper.
Massive dyna fan here, got a 2013 streetbob, love that the thing feels like it's trying to take off when your fire it up, you can see the bars flapping like wings!! It's such a nice handling bike and your sure of it in corners. It tracks really really well so when you take both hands off the bars it sits where you put it.
Only downside, and it might just be my example, is the ecu gremlins. I've had two ecu's quit on me now. It's not the end of the world though as S&S super e carbs fit with the propper manifold and a stand alone ignition system.
Personally I don't like what they did with the street Bob post 2018. That whole little tank thing ruins a great bike as do the gaiters on the forks and the lack of a decent clock.
Just my opinion of course but there it is.
Dyna all day !!!
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
I also believe your post, I have a 03 fxd with 80,000 miles and just can't part with it, when the engine is gone I'm buying a long block and moving on with it for another 20 years
Agree. Nice shakes, classic look.
I bought my 2020 Street Bob in January and I could not be happier. Got it in Denim Silver with ABS. I love it.
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
I had Dyna street Bob, I loved the look and the sound. The feel of it, was just natural, sadly I totaled it, got a 114 softail fatboy, not really feeling it after at a year, it fell heavy, the sound is just not as enjoyable as the Dyna... I miss my Street Bob. If you have one, take care of it, "I like the softail street Bob" is not something no one would say.
can't help but love the twin cam, got to have the beast/rattle :)
The Paintjob of this Dyna is amazing. I ride a 103 die dyna switchback - for me the hp of the 103 twin cam engine is enough. I like my Dyna so much.😄 Thank you Guys for the nice Video.👍
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
Mine is Stage 2. So it’s got plenty of torque and hp.
I really like the Milwaukee 8 Street Bob. I plan on getting one, one day.
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
I have a 2020 Softail Standard which is pretty much an analog of the Street Bob. So far I've put on mustache bars and a Saddlemen solo seat.
Just tell people what I told yall yesterday... Corona virus cant catch you on a Harley-Davidson
I got me an M8 Street Bob and I love it, its the biggest Harley I've had. I started on a Sportster, even tried a Street 750 for a while. They have all got their good and bad points I guess, but I havent found an issue with the Street Bob yet. Tank size isn't an issue for me. I generally ride alone or with people with smaller bikes with smaller tanks and around 100 miles is always a good time to stretch my legs and I love the gauges, never been a fan of single clocks but this is so neat and unobtrusive. I always wanted a Dyna Street Bob but always wanted a brand new Harley too . This year I found myself in the position that I could buy new so Softail Street Bob was the answer, was it a compromise, I'll never know and I don't care this bike I will have until its time to hang up my helmet :)
It’s definitely unrefined and it’s fantastic.
I have a 2013 Streetbob (1690cc) and it’s a thing of beauty.
You said that they have a soul and that’s exactly how I’d describe it.
They’re superb machines.
I haven't ridden in a little over 15 years. Late teens early 20s while in the corps, my only mode of transportation was a cbr600 f3 then a R1. Fast forward to my mid 30s. I decided I miss the thrill and freedom if riding too much. Didn't want the extreme speed of a sports bike, always loved the muscle of a Harley. So I got a really nice sportster 1200. Beautiful bike. Did a few customizations. Upgraded to stage II. However long rides and speeds over 65 very uncomfortable. Looked into getting a RK at first, but that was too much like a Cadillac. Then it dawned on me. A Dyna was the perfect bike. I like blacked out so a street bob was what I was after. However I found an unbelievable deal on a low mile blacked out 2005(carb) Dyna super glide. Stage I, LaPara bare bones low profile seat, forward controls, and 14" blk apes. It's a beautiful bike. Perfect feel, Has the 88 and plenty power for how I ride. Although I may do that 95 upgrade. Either way I'm sure I'll be om this bike for a very long time. At any rate, figured I'd share my experience. Great review on 2 great bikes. Ride safe everyone.
First guy reviewing M8 while still talking about how great Dyna SB is. Legend! M8 might be the better engine but bike looks much uglier than Dyna Street Bob.
That Dyna was epic!
I slightly prefer the M8 looks. Prefer the black handlebars to chrome too. I like Chrome if the whole engine is chrome but otherwise i prefered the blacked out look.
I’ve had 2 dynas , 09 Fatbob,and 92 low rider , sportsters, a 2010 Roadking,and have always disliked softails(except the fat boy ) due to recent spine surgery,I had to downsize from the roadking,and got the 2020softail streetbob... it is by far the smoothest and quickest bike I’ve ever had! Super comfortable,and light . although ,I would prefer forward controls,but very happy with it
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
I have an 07 Streetbob. Damn thing will haul butt. It got stolen, but got it back with 10,000 extra miles on it and the dude painted it 3 times. Blue, white then gold. Got to tear it down and re paint it back to denim black. Dude hot wired it to not use a key. He put a switch on it like the the full dressers have. Any help or any opinions will be appreciated. 😅
I'm absolutely a Dyna fan!! I have 98800 some miles on my 2007 96in FXDC!
I believe they are Harley's most versatile model. Playing, hotrodding and touring! I put Harley's Sundowner seat on mine when touring and it is more comfortable than the 2003 Roadglide I had and much more agile . Woods cams and some tuning, spanks the 107 m8. Facts not fiction!!!
The Dyna came about when somebody had the genius idea to throw a big twin in a sportster-ish frame. That said I like how the new Softail platform is engineered, just wish they'd kept the bigger tank and tank mounted gauges... I like knowing I can replace parts when needed and the LCD isn't going to go after a few years
Almighty DYNA! MINE had a 16" front wheel because the previous owner couldn't handle certain road surfaces. I fixed that right quick.
I traded my 2017 Low Rider S for a 2019 Sport Glide...didn’t have any intention of buying the M8 until they gave me one for a weekend...then I understood how much better the new bikes are.
They're pretty awesome right?
I traded my 2014 dyna street bob for a 2019 softtail street bob, so I have owned both bikes and I would have to say I truly miss my dyna. My dyna just had something about it that my new one just don't have.
I traded my 17 Dyna fat Bob for a 2020 low rider s and I feel the same way, but I'm trying to go back to the dynas.
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
U Miss The Vibration 👊
@@joevillareal191 yeah also the tank size, and the size of the bike itself the dyna seemed a lot bigger that the m8.
@@tomjgivens 👍👊✌
2011 FXDC here. Progressive 440`s and forks springs. Saddlemen step up seat. 12" dark smoke clearview shield. Saddlemen tunnel sport bag for everyday. Some other little goodies here and there. This has turned into a really good motorcycle. At 70 yrs old, this will be my last bike. Been riding since I was 15.
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
I own a 2020 street bob and I’ve rode my buddies 2016 Dyna multiple times. It’s obvious quickly that the M8 is the more smooth and powerful ride but the the Dyna still has its magic. They are both awesome rides. I prefer my Softail though.
I don't have a Street Bob, but my Father has a 2003 Dyna Wide Glide. What I ride is a 2019 Softail Lowrider. My Father's motorcycle shakes alot. My Softail Lowrider is very refined, it rides refined, it's very stable. My dad's motorcycle rides well, but after a long ride, I still feel my bones vibrating. Anyway, Cheers from Austin Texas.
Yeah that M8 is just a great engine. Changes the bike completely and makes it feel more modern. Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it. Beautiful town Austin!
I love the Dyna, but it’s incredibly uncomfortable to ride. I’m a Combat Vet with a lot of medical issues to my body, and all dynas just rattle my body to pieces. I love the M8 platforms, especially the softail. I had a 2019 Road King special I traded specificity for the new Lowrider s. Because I love dynas, but I got the better bike now, and that 114 M8 will destroy all dynas everyday
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
I ride a 2019 Street Bob. Love it. Never rode a Dyna. I’m sure I’d like it too. Wish my M8 had that Evo twin cam sound, but other than that, Street Bob is great.
Just pop in a lumpy cam... job done. Evo lope. 👍🇬🇧
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
The EVO is a single cam.
Get a s and s 475 cam. The pope will return
DYNA!! I own a 2017-- STREET BOB- HARD CANDY baby!! SWEET and LOVE IT. MY GF is jealous of her.
Been looking at purchasing a used bike and the Street Bob has been one on the list. I just found this video comparing the two, I really like the appearance of the Dyna Street Bob over the Softail Street Bob, mainly the gas tank and instruments and no rubber boot on the forks, so guess a test ride will end up being a deciding factor.
2023 FXBBS here. I cut the boots off. Better looking. Lastbike was a '99' Dyna. I really like this scooter and 6 speed trans. They are all great bikes
Forgot all about this post, ended up wiht 02 Road King @@wyateerp1
I have the new m8 streetbob and I love it, rode my buddies dyna felt not as great hahaha
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
I'll chime in. Owner of a 2015 Street Bob (FXDB) and a 2019 Street Bob (FXBB). I bought the 2019 in mid/late 2018 and traded in my 2017 Lowrider at the time. I was excited to move with the evolution of the M8 motor. I immediately upgraded the exhaust / seat / air cleaner and grabbed a tuner. It was fast and handled well but something that was always lacking was the exact thing stated in the video: "Soul". It's a refined motor but has somehow been stripped of that original harley sound and vibration. for some, this may be a good thing but i think for riders of evos or shovelheads (and beyond) you will come to notice that the Milwaukee 8, doesn't do it for you. I ended up selling the Milwaukee 8 and grabbed a 2015 Street Bob. Not to mention, people don't really recognize this too much but the length of bike is about 2" less on the Milwaukee 8. Where you can tell is when a passenger is on it. They feel much closer and it gives a cramped up feeling.
I hate the new streetbob tanks. At the very least, they could have used the fatbob M8 tank.
From a customization perspective and jumping into the Milwaukee 8, the motor is pretty user friendly to work on and take apart. (if you dare jump in to change the cam or add a new oil pump or cam plate)
All and all though, I think for the time being, I will stick to buying used stock twin cams and building those up. They have more character.
I like my 2015 street bob better than the new ones. I like my vibration and my tank size
Do you still got it? Just picked up a 2016 street bob
@@91rickybaker how are you enjoying yours?
103, that tank, gauges, rumble, and sound ALL. DAY. LOOONG. THAT'S a Harley.
I will take the Low Rider...thank you very much...
I've been on them all.... I love my Dyna, I like my M8.
Twin cams are nice with the shake but ain't nothing on a shovel shake. I got a new Sport Glide and love the M8, top motor, well done H-D!
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
Hard to compare these bikes but I owned a 2017 Softail Breakout with the 103TwinCam and now I own the 2020 Low Rider S with the 114M8. Lots of differences between those bikes but engine and comfort wise I'm goin M8 all day.
Same principle with my Low Rider S. Came from an M8 and switched to the Twin Cam. M8 isn't bad but my appreciation for twincams went through the roof after being on one.
I bought a brand new M8 2018 model (FLSLS) and as far as power, torque, (cam upgrade soon to come) refinement, reliability so far, EVERYTHING about it is a superior item to any other motorcycle engine I've ever experienced
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
I'm a dyna guy. Always have been. I have a 06 with a mild built 103 from a 2015 and threw a screaming eagle 110 head-on and it'd amazing. My buddy has a 2018 dyna and you said its...meh compared to mine. The thrill doesn't hit me as hard.
2006 dyna street bob here with the 96 and 6 speed, once I upgraded my forks and put heavier oil in there the vibrations minimal compared to before and I have tested the m8, I’m sticking with my dyna 👍
Dyna doesn’t hold a candle to the m8.... sorry. I planned to keep my dyna after buying the m8 fxbb.... dyna is for sale!!!
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
Rubber mount vs rigid mount engine. At idle... The Dyna vibes a touch. On the road, it is very smooth. I own a 1994 Dyna Lowrider, and a 2022 Street Bob. And a few others...
Is the sound of the twin enough to buy the dyna instead?what bike does Jake ride?
Pleased to see those guys take Corona as serious as we do in Holland 😂 I consider buying the 2020 soft tail standerd.
The m8 is the better bike, but the Dyna is way cooler and that’s the most important part about owning a Harley.
Havent rode the new Streetbob, or the old one. But my comparison before getting a new bike was FXDLS vs FXFBS. Fat Bob ate the LRS for breakfast. Chassis, motor, brakes, ergonomics, everything was better for close to the same money.
I have the new one and can’t be happier with the new characteristics: new engine (less vibration and less heat), LED front light, USB port, mono suspension under the seat. Great review, thank you!
We love the Street Bob, such a great and versatile motorcycle. Ride safe and thank you for watching.
Dyna Bro!!!! You both have valid points on each platform but you can always balance out the crank of the twin and get different mounts for the engine and a stronger fork brace to kill the Dyna wobble. Yes all that gets pricey but doesn’t any HD. Will you keep a M8 stock? Can’t wait to see a tank swap on 1 custom colors wheels, bars,etc it’s still a Harley we will make with our personal touch. Both are great just pick your poison and ride.
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
Update: I did it but bought a M8 softail! Still Dyna all the way but bang for the buck went with softail..Love them both and bottom line get out in ride no matter what you are on!!!!!
@@rashiedej w for coming back and giving an update. Came across this video cause I was looking to buy my first Harley, leaning towards the 2022 street bob but when I went to my dealership saw they had a 2016 dyna street bob with on 840 miles there as well, and it got me wondering lol
@@casualjay909 I had the same dilemma lol. My dealership had two dynas low mile street bob and low rider s. But the mark up was through the roof. So I went with a softail standard 107. Do I regret buying the 107 not at all. If I could afford it I would put a 2015 low rider in the stable. But my wife would kill me or I’ll wake like a godfather scene with my front forks in bed with me. Lol. Good luck 🍀
I just wish they didn't use that small tank and the weird speedo on the M8 Street Bob.
Hey I got a bolt too a ‘15 R-Spec. I’m about to upgrade to a ‘20 Street Bob but damn am I gonna miss my Bolt. Is it not one of the smoothest bikes you’ve ever owned? (Aside from that clunky first gear...)
Just bought a 2012 dyna street Bob custom with a 103
I also like the crossbones .
I think I would prefer the dyna to the m8 and I have never ridden either. I have ridden sportsters and softails but have not had the privilege of a dyna yet. I will someday though.
The Dynas are awesome...that new M8 though!
The twin cam sounds way better and I like the guages, not happy that the new one has a tiny digital gauge
Could you do the dyna 103 low rider vs softail 107 lowrider
I have a 2007tfxdb and the 96c.i. is great sand fine for power I love mine
Does anyone elses think the new Street Bobs look like a Sportser?
looks like a bobber tbh
My husband has a 2020 Street Bob and he has to fight to get it away from his grandson. He is 73 and he Lives to Ride!
Yeah I agree, I almost got a 2020 three days ago and ended up getting a 17 dyna
After a few softail test rides I'm comfortable saying that my 17 FXDLS with aftermarket engine stabilizers and ohlins suspension is still considerably more fun to ride than the new softail LRS. The new bikes are slick looking but they ride like overpriced metric bikes, except without all the new modern safety gadgetry. I already have two metrics, and my Dyna is more fun than both.
what stabilizers did you go with? Sputhe? and what suspension also? I had a 20' FXLRS and although I really liked it, it just didn't have the HD characteristics that makes me love them. I would love a FXDLS and swap the spoke wheels. I ended up with a nice low mileage 15' FXDB and I'm in the process of the build.
@@freemaysin5088 I got Sputhe, but the stabilizers are really a last resort. A wobble can come from a hundred different places.
@@cop70s I don't really have any wobble, other than the standard dyna flex. Just trying to narrow down what suspension components I'm gonna get. Was thinkin of getting some brand new poly mounts along with the Sputhe kit, and then doing ohlins fork drop ins with progressive springs and ohlins rears.
Softail looks way better than dyna, that hardtail look is just unbeatable, the bike looks super cool! and the M8 is best engine ever on a Harley they say... I bought 2020 bob and super happy with that :)
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
How tall r u. Im 6 2" and looking to get 1 and I think I would have 2 put forward controls on it for me to ride it. The bike looks small in videos until u get on 1 then its fine
@@bobbysingh3602 i am also 6 2- 6 3 and having no problems at all 👌
Did u feel ok or should I say fit well comfortably with the mid controls . Like it wasn't uncomfortable like knees sticking up and shit. Or did u got forward controls cause of that.
@@bobbysingh3602 i feel okay, drove 200km for a day and was good. I have never tried fwd controls, i am looking forward to try to compare. But still it kinda feels like fwd might be better.
Dyna rocks .... it’s classic Harley and has personality... I am with the Dyna guy all the way....
You should try a Lowrider with an Evo engine. I bought mine new an rode it hard until 2022 when I got my new Street Bob. The Dyna was relentless, never ever let me down.
The ride is more (plush). I was brutal to the bike. I think the M8 will be as good or better. I worked for Harley Davidson for close to 20 years and never really cared for the Twincam engine.
I like the new Street Bob with the exception of the gas tank. It doesn't bother me so much that it is 3.5 gallons as the fact that it looks like the Sportster 1200 custom tank. What I don't understand is that the Sportster tank is 4.5 gallons yet it looks the same size. I would rather it just be the 5 gallon. I just wonder if a 5 gallon from another model would fit.
I just traded my iron in for the 2020 street bob. Its freakn amazing compared to the iron 883

Benn ridding my 07 streetbob for 13 years. Almost 100k. Power comfort chacter. Feel cramped on new street bob
M8 in a Dyna chassis and I'm sold.
I've just been considering doing this to mine.
Is the dyna a larger bike than the M8?
Bought a new 114 softail. my old dyna feels like an vintage motorbike.
Agreed. They should've kept the 5 gallon tank
Would have made sense.
The problem I see is this; most Harley fans rate bikes on arguably the worst thing about them, how much they shake and vibrate. The M8 is by far the best engine they have made since the VRSC (I have no idea why they didn't put this engine in more models) but most Harley fans seem to dislike technological innovation and prefer brutish, war-time agricultural machines that don't necessarily need the ability to steer around corners. Technologically and performance wise, The New Sportster S engine is going to blow away any other Harley out there but I'm predicting it won't be a big seller because it's actually a decent motorcycle and that's simply not what Harley fans want. It's modern, light, liquid-cooled and actually handles well. They have made a young Cheetah where the fans expected another aging, heavy, battle-hardened Bull.
I like dyna because it gives nostalgic vibes to the FXR era. Not a big fan of the digital speedometer on the m8. Overall, theyre both great bikes. Each to their preference
I bought the new softail street bob last year, easy choice. I traded in an old ironhead rigid chopper on it (so I instantly preferred the ride!) I like sportsters and vintage Harley's so I wasn't predisposed to the Dyna or the new platform. I test rode a 2017 street bob and the 2019 back to back. The old Dyna may look a little cooler, but that's where it stops. The old Dyna handles like shit, the new softail carves tight corners like a hot knife through butter. The ride geometry is perfect. And the first time I hit 80+ mph in 3rd gear and dusted my buddies I had a hard on for a week! Sure the gas tank could be a little bigger... and I'll say this, they should have just named it something else, that way all the "dyna bros" will stop crying all butt hurt. They absolutely are two totally different bikes. In the end, you like what you like.
I've had 4 Dyna's best one was my CVO I now have a Softail Street Bob best handling Harley I've owned down side is ….small fuel tank
The Street Bob is pretty close to the perfect bike. I agree about the tank...give it a few more gallons and man this would be perfect. Cheers.
Stop and stretch about every 100 miles anyways. Top off the tank, stretch, take a piss, drunk some water, and hit the road again
Dyna all day everyday
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
Y’all should do the low rider !?!? Not the S model , the standard low rider . Dyna low rider vs new softail low rider model 👌🏻
What year is the Dyna?
Dyna all day long🤘🤘🤘🇺🇸🏴🤝
I rode a 2018 streetglide and it's "better" in every category but it doesn't feel like a Harley. Smoother and faster. Suspension and handling are better too but the signature sound and vibration is gone. Been gone for 20 years now. I suppose at least now the improvements go with it but still not worth it for me. Gimme an evo dyna with loud pipes and I'm happy. Twin cam and the mill 8 have no bloody soul. Or I could be a hipster I suppose.
The softail weighs much more than 450lbs, more like 650 which is still light for a Harley. Sportsters weigh 550ish. I don't think the street 500 is even under 500lbs. I love the look of the Dyna Street Bob platform more than the Softail but the Softail has more advantages. I myself will be getting a Softail or Dyna Lowrider S and a Softail Fatbob in the near future.
2007 fxdB 96 motor still riding NOWADAYS…
got the same bike!
FXRT best bike hands down !,
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
I think the new Street Bob looks better than the old one. But the bike I have is a Fat Bob 2013 and I like the old Fat Bob better than the newer. The 2014 "facelift" Fat Bob is ugly. The M8 Fat Bob is OK but still prefer the older one. I also prefer the Twin Cam over the M8 because I like the vibrations and I don't like the oil cooler. M8 engines all have internal counterbalancers, whereas Twin Cams were counterbalanced only on Softail models.
Dyna def has soul. However a m8 with a different cam can sound pretty damn good. Just wait til you see the things people will do to the new softail m8’s. There’s a reason why the dyna is gone... 🤭
Rem C check out ravisavages lowrider m8
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
wish they would have put a bigger tank on the new ones
kc fox just buy sport glide or lowrider with the bigger tank or you like steeet bob cuz it’s all black?
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
the m8 street bob is so much better than the dyna its like a totaly diffrent bike ive got one with a stage one and it eats dynas for breakfast and easely out handles it and you dont have to stop for fuel that often because it dose about 8 miles to the gallon more thats english gallons
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
My problem with te M8 that it looks like a Yamaha...smooth engine, that tank, the instruments.. grrr...
So we got someone going around harassing anyone who has or ever has had an 883 sportster... So let's show him he's not welcome... Pretty sad when you cant ride the bike you want without someone being childish... Its about the ride... Not what you ride.
We hate to see that. You're absolutely right...it's about riding not what you ride.
Dyna all day long… I want to feel the machine, be connected to it. It’s the reason we prefer Harleys. If I wanted a smooth/refined bike I’d go buy a dual sport or R6.
I never worried about a speedo until I saw the cops . I just got use to the RPM sound of the engine .
M8 Softail is a better bike than the previous Dyna Street bob. M8 has the solid mounted motor with better frame and Suspension. If you need the bigger tank, look at the low rider version or swap out the tank. The Dyna has the better look though with the paint and twin shock frame.
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
I'm currently on a 1200 iron and am looking to upgrade and this is the biggest decision I have to make. That 1200 has that nice harely shake and I feel like I wounding enjoy the new m8s as much as I would a dyna. Im gonna just have to test ride both and make my decision that way.
Knucklehead, panhead,shovelhead,twin cam and now back to a single cam Milwaukee 8. Sportster has had 4 GEARED CAMS since the 50s. I'll take a custom frame and a hammered sportster engine over all of them. Milwaukee 8 if you want a smooth ride buy a Valkyrie !
DYNA every. The m8 May ride better but so does a fireblade. A DYNA is a DYNA. It a legend. A m8 looks a bit cheep Each too there own. My DYNA is going nowhere. And it’s a great club bike. Big 👍 your right the DYNA has a soul.
Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
I was 1 year old in 1979...

Thanks for watching. Ride safe.
My answer is. I am looking for dyna haha hey guys r u looking for HD or comfy bike I chouse a bit rough bike
DYNA!!!!
I've got the 2006 dyna street bob,yes the handle bars shake but I love it.ive seen the new street bob ,just didn't do it for me.i need Loud pipes with the bike rumbling from the engine ,the new street bob looks like a electric bike to me .small tank fork covers ,lost its mean look
I get it but overall mechanically it's inferior. I would compare it to me giving up stick shift cars for automatic transmissions which are faster and less character. If you mod both bikes exactly the Dyna will always stay behind in every category: engine, suspension, and reliability. I have a 23 FXLRS and I'm on the fence picking up a clean 2017 FXDB
