If I could afford a second, it would be a Sportster '72. The 1200C is a sweet looking machine too, but almost too practical for a second bike. The 72 or the 48 would be my choices.

Go for it man, live the dream!

 

No, you are not nuts.
If I had the extra $ I would have a 1200-C in my garage right now. I love my King, but the Sportster is one great bike.

 

I looked at the 72 but the seat is really uncomfortable and the 2 gallon tank would be a bit of a pain. If I could find a reasonable priced 2003 anniversary edition and could add some mini apes and a few other mods, that would also be pretty cool. I keep going back and looking at the denim paint and it is starting to grow on me.

 

2010 limited for home and 2003 1200 sporty for down here in Mexico, love them both.

I am jealous!!

 

I picked up an 05 1200C 60 days ago - it takes the load of my 04 FLHT.

Did the jets, gave her new air filter system and slip-ons - a blast. great ride to work. The price was right, lots of Sportster around.

If you take your time? 3 or 4 grand can buy a lot of bike, but you may have to wait until fall to get the best prices.

ride safe

 

You are not 'nuts' - I had a 2010 RK that I sold and kept my V Rod - talk about a diff WOW!! I had thought about a Sportster - but the V Rod fits much better and the power along with lite weight is great -JMO

 

I still miss all my old sporty's. Easy to ride, and quick little bikes!
Had a 79 Roadster XLS1000, still wish I had kept that bike.

 

well if you have to ask then you are nuts...

 

I miss my old sporties. I put about 100 miles on my buddies 883 iron a few weeks ago and had a blast. They're just fun, basic, fast bikes. I plan to get another.
