📚 Vehicle History

Brand Focus:

American motorcycle manufacturing, V-twin engines, cruiser and touring segments

Dyna Lineage:

The Dyna platform, introduced in 1991, is characterized by its rubber-mounted V-twin engine and a distinct chassis design that emphasizes a solid, rigid feel, contrasted with the traditional Harley-Davidson Softail's hidden rear suspension.

2009 Updates:

The 2009 model year for the Dyna line, including models like the Super Glide, Street Bob, Low Rider, and Fat Bob, saw the widespread adoption of the Twin Cam 96 engine, 6-speed transmission, and electronic fuel injection across the range, representing a significant technological advancement over earlier models.

Production Period:

Harley-Davidson motorcycles are primarily manufactured in the United States (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and York, Pennsylvania).

🏆 Awards & Recognition

Motorcycle Reviews:

The Dyna platform has historically been praised for its strong torque, distinctive styling, and customizable nature. While specific awards for the 2009 model year are varied, the platform consistently received positive feedback for its riding experience and performance in the cruiser segment.
