no, this is a joke:

Three men walk into a room.

Two get shot.

How many are left?
















Three: it's not like the two that were shot could get up and walk out.....

Got my N last summer and decided that it was worth the extra money for a 1200 over 883. I prefer the two tone paint scheme and spokes on the N although they could have blackened out more on it.

Not having rode a sporster how much of a power difference is there between an 883 and a 1200? For just riding back and forth to work i do not think it would make much difference. All the people with sportsters at work have 1200 customs. I do like the spoke wheels but do not know that a spoke wheels and the extra ccs i want to spend the money on. I am wanting one but not sure enough about my job right now. I would also like to add a seat like i have saw on some for if the wifey ever rode but like my trucks, she rode in one of the three two times in nearly 4 years. Wonder how cheap i could get the payments on a iron.

I still would have bought my nightster over an Iron if they were out in 07, I do wish they would have blacked out the motor/tranny though. The only reason I'd regret getting the 1200 is if they'd come out with some crazy bigtwin version with over 100 horse, maybe a screaming eagle nightster with a 110 and a six speed or something redicilous. I'd have trade her off pretty quick.

There's a very noticeable difference in power. Extremely noticeable in fact.
