Don't count on the 883 being lighter. Don't know about the other years and models but the 05 883 Custom is actually heavier than the 1200 by a bit.

I would concur that the price seems rather steep. On the other hand, I have noticed that the pricing for used bikes seems to be drifting up--maybe because the factory cut back on production of new bikes?

RE: sporster question...
I just signed into this site to help me understand more about harleys. I am a first time rider like your wife, Zoopman? I am looking at buying the new 2008 either the 883L or the 1200L, I would like the fuelinjection. The difference in wieght are minimal,I have been going back and forth wondering which one to buy as a first time rider. My plans are to go to Sturgis next summer riding over? My good friend from Oregon rides a Harley also and thinks for power it would be better for the 1200. I would love some insite from anyone on what their thoughts on the two bikes for a new rider. I doplan on lowering the 1200L alittle bit and addingextra's for comfort....Lisa
