2017’ s Best Production Model motorcycle Harley-Davidson Dyna Lowrider S
While the whole Dyna world is mourning the sad news from 2017 that the Dyna line has been discontinued, we offer this proof that Dynas are still in the hearts and on the minds of their fevered fans. The Lowrider S was a slap in the face from a time gone by with it’s hardcore black and gold color scheme that resembled one of the most iconic motorcycles Harley ever produced in my opinion, the early eighties Low Rider. This bike proved ladies loved eighties and drew me in hook line and sinker. With the updated suspension, engine and transmission of a newer motorcycle we knew it would be a hit. For constantly reminding us where the origin of cool all started, even in their new products, we are more than pleased to name the Harley-Davidson Dyna Lowrider S as the 2017 Cycle Source Readers’ Best Production Model Motorcycle of the Year!
