Pros and Cons in comparison

Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider FXDL 2015

The Harley Davidson Low Rider brings the spirit of the Seventies back to the road, with an air-cooled 103 ci Twin Cam engine with electronic fuel injection, lots of chrome, loving details and the typical low seat that makes riding a particularly relaxed experience. Right from the factory, Harley strives for a high-quality, individual custom look. From the almost inexhaustible range of accessories, you can finally build your own personal Harley. First and foremost, a new, more powerful exhaust is recommended.
