Need some help!!!
Need some help from the Sporty Nation. I ride a Street Bob and my old lady wants a Sporty. I used to ride an old Iron head when I was a kid and having been blown of the line by many a Sportster I know how quick and agile they are. She is looking at the 883 Iron or the 883 Low. I'm trying to convince her to go with a Nightster, but she wants a 883 and not the 1200 like I am suggesting. What's the best model for the money? I have ridden my buddies Nightster and I am totally impressed by it, and almost bought one before changing my mind and going with the SB. So what do you think? Any suggestion is welcome.

I'm confused, is the bike for you or your girlfriend? I would let her decide what SHE wants to ride as opposed to you buying something that you want and then she can ride. There are plenty of great deals on slightly used 883's out there so I would look at those and then let her decide.

How much highway riding will she do? The 883 has plenty of power but has different gearing than the 1200. The 1200 is better suited for extended highway runs in mt opinion. If the 883 ends up not being enough power you can easily upgrade to a 1200 or 1250.

Same here, my wife wants an 883 Low when I pay off my bike. I didn't even try to argue even if I think it would be bad *** if she had an Iron and I rode my Nightster. It all comes down to wnat she wants. She's into bling bling, and I like em' dirty. To each his own, enjoy ridng with her when she gets it. Peace.

Yeah, after some research I think she's set on the 883 Iron. I like it cuz it's stripped down and looks real tough. She's happy cuz she can handle it and it's the right size for her. So we'll see. Looks like I will dropping some coin in the very near future...
