I bought the FXDC because it looked cool and it was in comparison cheaper, now after a few miles under my belt, my wife wanted to start going, I held off letting her ride until I felt comfortable in my own ability, it had been like 30 years since I was last on a scoot. Two up for two bigger folks on a dyna was not happening, so the touring bike was evolutionary, besides I really like the lines of the classic, especially without the windshield.
