The N is the ONLY Harley I wanted. So I got it. I don't regret it at all. Don't get me wrong, the Iron is a cool bike, I just like the N better. They obviously wanted to make an 883 N style bike but I think they missed a few things. For example nothing is cooler than spokes IMO. And where is the gap between the tank and the seat to show a little backbone? To me that was a VERY cool feature on the N. (The little things like that make a big difference to me.) And it's a 1200...

 

i like the iron but the orange paint is what sold my nightster.

 

I couldn't be more pleased with the purchase of my Nightster. I upgraded and traded my BT for it. The Iron is a great looking bike as well and my guess is that it will be a popular model. Regarding the wheels, personally, I have always preferred spokes over mags, more so when the rim is colored.

 

Oh,....this will be fun to watch. Wish we still had the smiley that was eating popcorn.

 

Only thing i like about the iron is the denim paint and maybe alittle more black on the engine. But NOT the 883

 

 

If I could afford a second bike I would get an 883 Iron and do the 1200 conversion. I like mag wheels better I guess the blacked out engine and mag wheels is what makes me pick the Iron over the Nightster.

 

 

No regrets here.

 

I have both. Got the 1200 first. Having put some miles on the Iron, I'm very happy with the choice I made initially. I got the Iron for the g/f to ride, and let's just put it this way: I'm riding the break in off for her, and once that's done I probably won't ride it again unless mine is down for something, lol. The lack of power and the gearing are two things I don't think I could live with for long.
