Picking up my new '15 Seventy Two tomorrow!!
Been in and out of the dealer for the last few weeks looking at bigger bikes to replace my 883 iron. Originally was gonna go with a dyna, but everytime i went i spent the whole time staring at the 72. He gave me a trade in deal on my iron to good to pass up, and i pulled the trigger on the hardy candy red flake. Am i going to notice a big difference going from my 883 to the 1200?

Big difference going from an 883 to a 1200. IIRC, they are even lighter than the 883's since the engine has more material bored out. So factoring that into 40% more CC's, it's a quick bike. This is just going off a couple test rides I've done. The difference is eye opening. The first thing I noticed was how it just launches itself from a stop, just really light throttle and letting out the clutch, it throws the bike forward. My 883 never did that.
