We have been testing a lot of Harley-Davidson's recently, including their all-new 2008 models, the Dyna Fat Bob and Softail Rocker. In addition to our first riding impression on these new models, stay tuned for a full report on all of Harley's CVO models that will be coming up shortly (CVO stands for "Custom Vehicle Operations").
While both the Dyna and Softail models feature the new twin cam 96 engine (and six-speed transmission) introduced last year by Harley, the motor is rubber-mounted on the Dyna, while it is rigidly attached to the frame of the Softail. The Dyna can be quickly identified by its exposed rear shocks, while the softail has that traditional "Hardtail" look with hidden twin shocks allowing the rear swingarm to provide some comfort to the rider. Both lines are fuel injected these days, and all Dynas benefit from a chassis redesign in 2006 that improved handling significantly.
