Really lost with all of this. New to bikes
Hello everyone, I wanted to know a few things about Sportsters. Right now im using a friends Sportster 883. Would like to buy a used one. First I would like to get a 1200 Sportster, would like to use it for road trips, how would this bike be for that? Also was looking online and I didnt know they had that many models for the Sportster, XL1200, Coustom 1200, XLH1200, Sportster Low. Also what is a 1200cc,OHV V Evolution V-Twin Engine? I have seen this too?
I was looking at a 2004 Sportster 1200 with 24k miles on it is that alot?
Thanks ~Gage~

Depends on how handy you are.
I bought my 1200c for $3k just for the purpose of being a 2-up travel bike. In stock form I personally do not think it really is that good for the job of touring but I have been and continue to change bits to my liking. Aftermarket seat, air filter, grips, mid controls and highway pegs instead of forwards,rubber pegs instead of those gay *** chrome ones, wind screen, shocks etc etc. When I am done with it will be a pretty good over the road bike yet still be lighter and more agile than a dyna. The joy of these machines is you can make them what you want them to be, all it takes is a bit of wrenching.
