RE: 883C VALUE
There you go. It's in the finances. Nothing wrong with that. Any Harley is a great experience. If your wife doesn't ride, nothing will make her happy but you selling it. I'm fortunate enough to do what I want. Yes, I'm not married of hafta deal with those issues. I do know that alot of riders in this forum have wives that ride. Let her ride it. once she rides, she will be an addict.

RE: 883C VALUE
unfortunatly she has no interest to be on bike, either as a rider or a passanger.
so our priorities our different.
now if she rode, then id keep that one for her and id get mine and life would be grand.
so, untill i get rid of her, ill just fix up the 883 to fit my needs.
dont get me wrong i love her(the 883)just had the itch.
im 5'4 140lbs so its not a lack of power, this scoot pulls me around pretty good,its just wanting more power and chrome.

If you are looking for power, the 883 to 1200 conversion is the way to go, not to trade in the bike.
If you want the chrome engine, well, thats your decision, but for that price, that is hard.
Try to sell out right first, then really consider before making any decisions with the dealership

It's all what you are happy with. The 883 is a great bike as I said. If you get a chance to ride a 1200, you will understand.

Like I said before. I loved my 883. It was a great bike. I also said in other posts the main reason I got the 1200 was the chrome. I love chrome! The other stuff was an added bonus. The 883 saved my life. I'll always have a fond spot for the 883.

RE: 883C VALUE
TAZ, good move I didn't want to weigh in to soon I feel you are making a very wise move I was at the stealer and an 06,883c with 3000 miles was going for 7600.00 bucks They don't call them the stealer for nothing.
