Cool-Motorcycle reviews Harley-Davidson FXDL Dyna Low Rider 2008

Harley-Davidson-FXDL-Dyna-Low-Rider-2008_1

Long, low and lean hasn’t gotten a moment’s rest since Willie G. Davidson showed up at daytona on the first low rider in the ’70s.
It’s still one of the most sought after pure-as-pure gets machines to tour any road. The low center of gravity and easy handling allow you to kick back and enjoy the ride.

The going got even better last year with the fuel-injected, 96 cubic inches of all-new V-Twin. You can’t miss it, glittering in black and chrome. Drop low into the seat and you’re surrounded by machine. Plant your feet on either mid-mount controls or highway pegs. This is what it feels like when you go low.
