Iron 883 stage 3/4 or M8 Street bob?

Hi

I have a question about comparison of two particular bikes. Hoping that some people here rode both and can tell me what they think.

I don't know if I want to upgrade my current Iron 883 to stage 3 or 4 (1200cc) and keep it or sell it for a new M8 streetbob.

I know they are not comparable in many ways, but that's just my dilemma here.

Which bike would be more fun to have?

many thx.

I would take the M8, although NOT the Streetbob. I'd go for the Slim,Heritage 114, or Deluxe.

Depending on your size and riding style, the Street Bob or Softtail Standard would be more comfortable and provide more engine performance in stock form.

Sportster is 100 lbs lighter.

With currently owning 3 of them I have a soft spot for Sportsters and I think a built 1275 Sportster would be way more fun than a stock Street Bob.
