Very cool if you are under 50 after that comfort reigns supreme

I bought an 08 1200N after my class and had it about 6 months and traded it for a Rocker C. The Nightster was great while I had it just wanted more I guess. Post pictures of your new bike.

I got my wheels PC this week and finally Got time to put them on Friday.
Probably would have been quicker if I had omeone to help me.

I was considering the same dilemma before getting the 2007 Sportster XL1200 Low.

You won't be unhappy with the 883, but if at all possible, go with the Nightster!

Congrats on the 1200N. Going on the 3rd year and 11k on my 2008. Still a blast every time I ride

Well it's always nice to have a new vehicle since you know how it was ran and serviced since new, but the 1200 has some nice mods already and alot more power. You are a big guy so the extra power will not hurt. I don't feel the 1200 is too fast for a starter bike. I good friend of mine alyways says a bike is only as fast as you ride it-so if you do not crank the crap out of it-it will ride nice and slow and not buck you off.
