The one I ride now, 08 1200C. Why, I guess because of all the chrome it came with and all the chrome i've added to it in the pass 2 years.

I'm kind of partial to mine, a 2007 1200 Roadster, why?
because;
Dual front disks
last year of the 3.3 gal peanut tank
first year of EFI
black engine with silver fin highlights
still a push rod & air cooled classic type of engine
sport styling and performance (for a HD that is)
but most of all: BECAUSE IT'S MINE AND IT'S PAID FOR!

I took one look at the flat black denim paint on the Iron 883 and I was sold. No chrome at all except for the stock exhaust. Just love that old school look on a new bike.
