[size=2]My last bike was a 2003 Suzuki 1400 Intruder. I liked the bike but I'm glad I traded it for a 2006 1200C Sportster. I love my 1200C. It looks better, rides better and sounds better than the 1400 Intruder. My advise is to ride both and then decide.

Take a look in the for sale section. Some good deals in there, or check EBay.

First of all....$9,000 is WAY WAY too much for an 883!! I bought my 06 883L new last April for $6,250, plus sales tax and small fees. I think the check I wrote was just a few over $7,000.

Secondly, if money is that tight. I'd look at a used Harley. Because, if you look around on this forum..you'll see that buying the bike is the cheap part. That's when the spending just begins.

Thirdly, did you really expect to find someone on here to tell ya to buy the Suzuki??? LOL

Good luck to ya....

I had 2 Suzukis before the 1200. Overall, I like the Sporty much better. ...and you'll end up with a Harley some day anyway.
