Thanks for all the replies. A lot of great advice! My wife is a Harley girl. So, we were going to look at some Hondas, but I could tell she just wasn't there. So we went and found a 2009 XL883L and she immediately loved the bike. Only 5700 miles and a great price of $3900. Her smile....priceless. I rode it the 50 miles home and it handled well and had some pep. (reminded me of my Kawasaki 750 LTD of many moons ago). My wife tried it out at home and was a little tentative but knows she just needs miles. She is 5'4" and fits nicely on the bike. Overall a huge hit. She did do the MSF course and passed. Once she has miles and confidence, the Heritage is hers. I already ride the Heritage as well as an Ultra. I figure I can keep the 883 for kids to learn if they want.
