Default which should I go with

in the hunt for my second harley. my first was an 02 883 hugger. pearl white 3 coat, a few chrome peices, and straight pipes. i loved the bike, but got the chance to trade it for a car that i thought was a good deal. well turns out a bike is way better than a car. and now im searching for one to replace the camaro.

i have the choice between 4 that i feel are decently priced for the what they are.

1. 1999 sportster 1200c. pipes and air cleaner 4300 miles. $2800 and a springfield xd45

2. 1992 833 with 1200 kit. no reciepts tho. 5000 miles. s&s carb and air cleaner. 2-up seat. 2300 the gun and a brand new snap on drill.

3. 2000 883h with stage one. love the yellow color. $2600-2800

4.1991 bobber 1200. miles unkown. has intake exhaust, no speedo or signals, which i dont really like riding without. $2100

5. 1993 1200unknown miles, exhaust air cleaner, has no speedo, headlight front fender, or carb on it, but they come with it so I don't know if it runs and shifts, how many miles, or anything but how it looks really. For $1900

which do you think is the best deal.

thanks in advance!

What's your plan for the bike? Leave it stock, hot rod it, chop it, tracker, ??? That says the vote as well.
