Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm taking the MSF course for sure. I'll be riding in mostly country/town type roads, a lot of twisties around here. Not much highway driving with occasional city and few long trips to the shore.

Thanks

Was the 1200cc your first bike or first Harley? I had my eyes set on the Iron 883. I could always do the 1200cc upgrade when I feel I'm ready, that is such an awesome bike and fits my personal style very well. I'm a very non flashy guy, don't really like chrome or shiny paint. I'm drawn to a rustic and worn look, I'm like that with everything.
Thanks for the advice,

try hannums in Chadds Ford Pa

If you are in the philly area. Stop in this shop, tell them you concerns, ask to ride a bike or two. They offer a rental program and will apply your rental fees to your purchase. That is a great way to try a few bikes out before buying.
