Good torque right of idle followed by lots of noise and moderate acceleration

until your at top gear and you kind of put-put around.
At a stop you kinda watch everything jiggle. Readjust the mirrors because they keep moving around. It does give you something to do at stops.
This is awesome.... i lol'd

Sounds like a good deal. Many people love the Dynas. The powertrain of a big twin but on a smaller frame. Not sporty small but close. Very able bikes.

And those look like samson ground pounders on it. I bet its loud.

Any HD under KBB sounds like a good deal. Not that I'd ever buy one. People have a very overinflated idea of the value of those things. I've seen 15 year old used HDs for thousands more than KBB with just fringe and tassels (and the obligatory extra chrome). Of course, a lot of them sit forever. It's just stupid- like the clowns selling "custom" GSXRs. With a road rashed repaint and stickers
