I am pretty new to riding, been riding a hair over a year. My current bike is a 1983 Honda Magna v45, but I joined the navy and am on the opposite side of America and getting my bike would be quite the hassle. I have always loved Harleys and now that I have a decent income want to get one. I really like the look of the Iron 833, but I really love the older bikes. I was hoping on suggestions for what bikes to look at getting.

Welcome from the Sunshine State and thank you for your service. Harley will let you test ride their bikes at most big bike events. Good luck.
