Hey guys new to the forum, and excited. I currently do not own a Harley Davidson but that is going to change soon. I'm currently torn between two bikes that are vastly different. I like the Iron 883 and the lowrider S. Before I explain my reason my riding experience consists of dirt bikes only. I ride often and my current dirt bike costs more than a new Iron 883. So I like the Iron 883 for price, plan on converting it to a 1275 once I'm comfortable. I love the look of the lowrider S, the fact that it has everything Im looking for so I won't need to change anything but the price is literally double that of a new Iron 883 and I don't know if the power is to much. I'm getting different answers from everyone and I know what bike the dealership is going to push me towards. So what bike would you recommend for someone with my riding experience. Thanks guys.

 

I would tell you to go for the Low rider...power is in the wrist, control it.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
Good Luck!!

 

Welcome to the Forum lots of good information here
