Default Hello all

Hi there my name is Vinnie and I’m from NZ. I’m in the market for a HD soon as I finally have went through and passed all my licenses and have no restrictions anymore and was hoping you guys could help me figure out which HD to go with.

So far my options are the iron 883, 48, nightster and maybe street bob/fat bob if there’s reason to wait around and save more $$

i love the look of the iron and 48 but I’m worried about the iron being too slow 48s small tank. I like the look of the nightster but they are hard to find here.
I also like the street bob but they are much more expensive. Any information on the pros/cons would be very much appreciated.I am 5”8 175lbs.

Thanks, Vinnie 😎
