i seen one at the dealer, the other day, i ride an 883r and honestly the bike is cool... but it's really small. Mind you it's a nice bike but, i didn't even want to sit on it, would have felt like i was sitting on the floor, would be nice for someone petite.

 

I'm not petite at 5'10 208lbs and I bought one, although it's for the wife (smiling here).I got an all black one ordered with a March Build and an April Delivery for 13,100.00 CDN out the door. I think thats about 11,150.00 USD at todays money.

 

you are on target! I rode a 1200C for three and a half years, had more zip when I needed it thanmy BT -- now as far as maneuverability/agility - -I'm stuck in traffic and tight situations,that my Sportie could get me out of any day of the week!

edited to add the following: I like the looks of the Nightster..at 6 ft, 200pds, even as low as it is, I think it would work for me as I would need a forward control conversion - but I would definately enjoy the ride - IMHO (and just mine) -it's the sweetest looking Sportster to date off the assembly line -

 

Well, when I started this thread I was hoping to hear from at least one guy that already had one....but nobody has one yet! Looks like it may not be such a big hit after all.

In actuality, any of you guys that have a sporty already could bob your fenders, and buy a side mount plate, and be there.

well i'm 5'10.5, and it's really cool-looking, but very low to the ground... definetly would need forward controls...

 

Agreed - just sat on one this noontime at another dealer. I'm 6' 190ibs and long waisted and it did seem small but cool - loved the low feeling, but forward controls or at least highway pegs would be needed even with my short legs. Plus I'd need higher positioned handle bars to be comfortable I suspect. It was the silver/black denim color and WAS BEAUTIFUL - just wish they had painted the engine real black instead of light charcoal - just didn't look finished or match up well colorwise. Plate location, different seat, black wheels, bobbed fenders, fork boots, small sporty tank all look awesome on this model - nicely done. And the pipes are very unique. Haven't seen anything like them before. Made me want a second bike and I just bought my Street Bob in December!

from what I have seen here in Vegas they are sellin as fast as they hit the floor. U also have to remember they just came out 2 weeks ago. I will have mine soon.

 

A newbie just logged in today saying he has one! (02/13/07) Didn't know if you saw it or not.

 

If you think they look cool in the picture go see one in real life. I'm startin to like those shock boots, and front fender bracket, the engine color, the rear fender.... i could go on, and on. Would I by one? If I felt I needed a fleet of Sportsters, sure. Would I trade mine for it, well, I don't like it that much. It's still a cool ride though

 

Bought mine today, I have to pick it up next week though. Ill let you know when I get it. All black.
