Possible new Rider

RE: Possible new Rider
I just bought a 1200C a little over a week ago without even test driving it.
I am 6'1 and 250 and I need to stretch my legs ON the forward controls quite a bit.
Also will you just be riding solo? Cause Mrs.C. goes with me most of the time and theres 400 pounds tween the both of us and we bottom out......allot.
Lots of power tho, I can smoke a friends 883 turned 1200 and he is only prob 155 lbs.
And give a friend with a heavely modified Dyna lowrider a run for his money.
And this with BOTH of us on our 1200C. I was impressed. I just need to have the dealership adjust the suspension (if they can)

Thank you guys,
I actually come from Italy, and i live in a city that is completely different from the tipical big cities of the u.s. It's a small city with narrow streets, traffic lights every 150 meters, people crossing the streets without stopping.....that's why i think that a 883 roadster should be perfect for a city like that...
so it's ok if i use it in a city like my city.
But if i wanted to go for a long ride...in this case forward controls could make the difference...isn't it?
and what about the passenger...if i ain't wrong, carrying a passenger on a 883 roadster means "hard life" for the passenger...right?
But i'm a real beginner about Harley....so i'll have to try both and "listen to my legs".....
Anyway, thanks for helping me!!

Hello everybody!
Here's my question:
I like the 883 roadaster and the 883 custom...but the point is that i'm 6.06 feet and i really care about the comfort in a motorbike..
so what do you suggest me to do? The 883 custom is more comfortable than the roadster? Could i feel the difference in the long trips?
Thank you guys.
