It's official. We just bought a new Sportster 883 XL this afternoon.

Haven't learned how to ride yet but that comes with classes next year. Dealership gave us a decent price. He beat the best offer we got so far so we bought it. It will be delivered next week. Two tone model. Birch White and Sedona Orange. Got it for $200 below MSRP, Rider classes for 2, 2 up seat and we keep the old one and an engine guard and a battery tender.

Can't wait to get learning

This is a bike for the wife and I to learn on. Should she decide to ride herself, we can get me a different bike after I learn. If not, we can probably ride 2 up if I like it.

Any comments on how we did financially? Did we get took?

 

Sounds like you did OK and congrats on the new bike, your gonna love it.
Just make sure your good and comfortable solo before you try two up, be careful and have fun.
ps: fill out the "from" on you profile so we know where your at (in case we gotta come lookin for ya)

 

congrats, sounds like u done real well. Is that the super low? If so u will love it, my wife has one very easy to ride, nice suspention, and love the radial tires.

 

congrats, welcome to the forum and the bike!
as you can see above, we love to see pics around here. hope you can figure out how to get some up...
and resist the urge to take the bike out before you get the classes- thats gonna be the hard part!

 

LOL, funny think about the Super Low is - I'm 5'8" and it's still hard for me to get my feet flat down. They should just call it the 'Super'. haha

 

Sorry. Too Excited. Right now, it is still at the dealership being worked on. It needs to have the engine guard, seat and IIRC, battery tender installed and to be delivered.

Currently in Hartford WI.

 

Yes, it is the Super Low. Supposedly the rake change helps the low speed steering and the front tire is shorter and wider, I think

 

Soon as we take physical deliver we will put up a pic.

Never ridden a bike so shiny side up, right?

 

Congrats on the new bike.

I also took the MFA course and it was a great experience. I learned on small bikes (250cc). When I took possession of my first bike (883c), it was a shocker. At first I was intimidated by the power but for some reason I couldnt stop smiling. It was an adrenaline rush. It takes practice to get used to it.

Now I am riding a Dyna Street Bob and I feel comfortable with it. I have only been riding for two years and I just know that I should have bought a motorcycle six years ago.

I think you did really good on the price and on the accessories you got from the dealer.
