My first HD!
My first HD!
After owning several dirt bikes and dual sports through the years, I decided this year was the time for a "real" street bike. I just graduated college in December and figured now's the time to get what I want before house payments, wive(s) and kids come along, so I bought myself an 883R in black, which should be here in the next couple days.
I went and spoke with my local dealer about several models and prices. I was after the 1200N Nightster but since I'm 6'6" and 210 lbs it just sat too low to the ground and wouldn't have been very comfortable, and it was 2k more than what I had intended on spending. So after looking at a used 883R I decided that she was the bike for me and ordered a new one in black with a few extras. I sat on the 883R and it fit me well, but I am still curious if I'm going to look; as I call it "like Grape Ape on top of Beegley Beagley's van" so I was wondering if any of you guys have 883Rs and if so what is your body type? I'm investing a relatively large amount of money into this and don't want to have an under sized bike (frame wise).
Thanks for any info
