Default Proud new owner of an Iron 883

Well not til tomorrow. But tonight I negotiated a deal on a 2012 Iron 883. I was really only interested in a Sportster 72 and the Iron 883. I drove both today. I really enjoyed riding both bikes. But in the end I felt that the Iron 883 was more my personality. And the price worked well within my budget a little better.

I know what everyone says about wanting to get a bigger bike after a month. But that doesnt concern me. I am happy with my decision to get the 883. The insurance will be lower too, and it gets slightly better gas mileage and has slightly longer range. (not really a big issue, but its a plus).

I am just happy to join the Harley club! I look forward to seeing you guys out there.

On to a pic. Its matt black. I love the color. The dealership even threw in a $150 gift card with the deal. That will pay for most of my helmet.

I cant wait til tomorrow afternoon! Guess now I am going to have to have my forum name changed to blackknight883. :-P

Congrats, you'll love it! BTW what dealer is that? It looks very similar to Woodstock where my family (myself included) gets all their bikes.

Congrats on the bike! Good luck tomorrow. I'm guessing your Canadian since the $150 will "almost" pay for the helmet. Almost looks like the Barrie dealership.
