Buy the 883 and if you think you need more power do the 1200 kit. Harley will want around $1,200 just for the kit, but if you shop around you can find them much cheaper. Converting \\;the 883 to a \\;1200, you'll be able to juice any factory 1200.

The 883 seems to be the better deal in the long run......Mods and what not seem to come pretty quick.
 \\;
This is my 883 that is putting 80 HP to the rear before. Making  \\;T/S mods, bar backs and a few other things....Oh ya and a new rear tire at $230.00 but I guess it says Harley and Dunlop so it has to be worth it.
 \\;
 \\;
One of these days it will be rider friendly or I will have to just get used to it.

If you are in such bad financial shape, I would personally get neither until you could afford the mantainance and any repairs should it break down. \\; Just my two cents.
