As the only one (so far) admitting I bought what others told me to, I must say I didn't really care which model I bought. Many advised that due to my size and the fact that I might want to ride 2 up the 1200 would be the smarter decision. For me the 1200Cdid havethe look, the chrome,drag bars that I wanted and being used the prices were similar.
I knew I wanted a anniversary model and I am very pleased.

 

Actually, I am soliciting opionions in which to make my puchase too. So, I am admitting it as well =)

But, I think so posts are correct, I want the 1200 and know myself, I am not going to completely happy with an 883 knowing I can make it a 1200. But, I sitll have 3 days to think about it some more.

Thanks everyone! Continue the poll....

 

When I was looking I really didn't care what I got. I was leaning torwards the 1200 for the power. I really like the look of the 1200 block with the black casing and silver cooling fin edges, as opposed to the grayish looking 883. But while shopping, there were some really nice 883 out there that looked really good with the gray block. So basically I took whatever deal came my way that looked good, fortunately it was a 1200.

Come on spring.....

when i looked back,,,LOL..get what you want

 

I'll have to admit that I'm a sucker for the black cases on Harley's as well. They just look great. Think I mentioned it before, but I passed up a super deal on an almost new Softail Standard for no other reason than I couldn't get past the 'silver cases'. Yeah, that's dumb, but oh well. LoL

 

I'm exactly the same. I don't know what model my next Harley will be but I do know it will have black cases and not grey.

 

1200..... Slam Dunk

 

OK.... fess up... what did you get? Color? We're all waiting?

 

My husband and I shared his 1200c before I bought mine. I liked theway it handledand was certain there was no way I'd buy anything less than a 1200. Then I met her (an883)and fell in love. I don't feel like I settled for less than I wanted I think I got exactly what I wanted. Funny thing is now I think he likes the way mine handles more than his own.

 

I can't tell you how many threads I've read over the years of peopleconverting their 883s to 1200s after a couple of years of owning the 883s. So, IMO, spend the extra $$ and get the 1200 now to avoid lusting after the power later...
