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.

Originally the "Peanut tank" refered to the 2.2 gallon Sporty tank which was used back in the day, like up until the mid to late 80's. Then the Sporties tank size was increased to a 3.3 gallon size, but kept the same styling as the 2.2 size. Then in '04 or '06, I can't quite remember exactly, only the "C-Custom" models came with a 4.5 gallon tank in a different design, with all the other sporties still getting the 3.3 gallon peanut tank. So, to answer your question, yes, the "Customs" come with the bigger 4.5 gallon tank that is shaped different.....(fugly in my opinion).
