I love my Sporty - but I know the feeling - the V-Rods are sweet.

What he said. Either plop down the cash or work that credit and own 'em both!

They are so different you could justify having both. Although after experiencing the power of the VRSC, the 883 may lose some appeal.

I just don't like Vrods .... keep the Sportster and put a 1200 kit in it.

both kinda fast by harley standards but slow as dog sh*t by anyone elses, both chick bikes, at least the sporty looks like a harley (albeit a mini-version).

hmm tough choice to be honest...

just kidding i owned a sporty for a while and loved it. really the bikes are so different it should be pretty easy to decide.

Well, if you like fast and smooth, dump the Sporty and get the Vrod. It will run circles around the Sporty. If you like traditional styling and function keep the Sporty and pass on the Vrod.
