I think you'll find exchange rates favorable at this moment and a Harley may be priced better right now than any of the metric bikes, in same category.

Since you are used to the horse power of the 1200, definately test ride. You might consider a Screaming Eagle Harley. The Screaming Eagles are more pricey than the 98 CU Inch Harleys. However if you try a Ultra Classic, it is about same height as 1200, and the SE model is very fast. Test ride...
