My 2008 1200R is the only year that they were made with the 4.5 gallon tank.

Does that it mean it will be worth the big bucks someday.
No, nobody wants that big old oil bunker on there, should have got an 07 with the famous peanut tank, now that's gonna be worth something.

HOTLAP,

That big old oil bunker of a tank on my Roadster matches the profile of my beer gut.

Besides, at this point it's just a rumor that the owner of our store passed on
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it is just a rumor and he is alive and well.

RE: No more base 883's
IMO, they should have stopped making the 883 years ago. I do not see the point of making it. Why not just build 'em all as 1200's and make a plain jane model for those on a budget?
