Perhaps your vast HD experience has kept you out of the showroom for the past 5 years. The SG and SGCustom have mid controls (not forward like the Softails), comfortable seating and riding position (no "apes" here) and the best all around performance of any HD currently in production. Suspension is not lowered...except perhaps on the low sportster and other low versions of most of their bikes. Oh yes...no 21" front wheel either. I think you're confused.
Mostly what is bothersome is your gross stereotyping over something as insignificant as model type (really a personal preference based on riding needs and aesthetics). No one buys an HD for performance. No one. My V-rod was a disappointing attempt. If you don't "tour" why would one buy a tourer of any quality? For many, the dyna is an excellent and competent platform. Your over-generalizations about those people are your business, I suppose.
Lighten up. You're not seeing the reality that exists beyond your bug splattered goggles. All that HD experience you reference seems to have left you jaded. It can happen you know.
