Your math sucks!

2009 - 2004 = 5 (not 3)

 

The 1200C is a great Bike. I got 40k on mine and still going strong.

 

Just bought my XL1200custom this year. Same 03 Ann. Edition...Love it...keeping it stock for the most part. Then I am gonna pay my Harley Tax in the spring...

 

Love mine.. runs strong..

 

I love my 07 1200 Custom.

The 1200C is a great bike, especially at the price point that it's offered at. Can't go wrong with it. Easy to modify to make it whatever you want; Touring, Custom Cruiser, Chopper....good luck!

 

Seeing as how I'm sure the OP has made his decision by now I figure he won't mind if I ask a slightly off topic question regarding the 1200C. What is the size of the tank? I guess the standard "peanut" tank is 2.2 gal, just curious if the tank on the custom is bigger or just shaped different? A buddy of mine is in the market and I'm just trying to help him out since this will be his first bike ever.

 

I do believe they made the jump to a bigger tank in 07. My 08 has the 4.5 gallon.

 

We still have our '98 1200C Sportster - rode, 2 up, over 175,000 miles on that wonderful bike from end of '99 until '07...

Our gas tank held 3.2 gallons... I thought the 'peanut' tank was on a 883 Sportster...

Sometimes we 'coasted' into a gas station and/or carried a couple gallons of gas in our saddle bags (had to as no gas stations in area of Nevada we were riding at the time)...

Bike was/is beautiful - check out our photos/albums - our home page has picture of the Sporty in front of Cowboy Harley Davidson in Beaumont, Texas (I-10) in 2004... Our lifeonaharley site: http://triglide.multiply.com

Enjoy your ride...

 

My 07 1200c has the 4.5 gallon.
