i would say the 883c or 1200c are the roomiest of the different models..because of the forward controls.but you can put forward controls on any model you decide to buy..

First time buyer? whats that all about? my first time with HD credit I was told I could have any bike in the place... as far as Sporty's go... not to bash the 883's (I used to own one) I'd say go with a 1200 straight out the box the Custom is probaly what you need, at your height

I don't see how they could swing it after a year... but to answer your question... a lot... unless you're putting like half down...

It would take better than two years to get close to breaking even... and then that would still depend on at what percentage you were paying...

That's just to get even...

So consider if you go this route... you'll have the scoot for a while... I'd go with the 1200 in your case...

Now this is just my opinion...
