A Hog in my future?

The 883 and 1200 are the same frame. Only the engine is different.

Compare models. Compare the 883 Custom, with the 1200 Custom, and the Dyna Super Glide Custom (A sportster on Steroids). And compare specs.

883 appears to be a LOT smaller.. but maybe it's just me. I don't think I've ever seen an 883 and 1200 side by side.

Engine, but in the end, both. Bigger frame for a bigger engine..

1200 Sportster Custom

frame on an 883 and a 1200 is the same

1200 Sportster Custom

Same frame, differences will be in the steering neck angle to change the wheelbase

Is this a first ever bike?

I've ridden many, never owned one.

Do they fly?

Mine did. Once. That Georgia sun can flat out blind you in a parking lot that has two levels.

I've ridden an 1100(?) Sportster and was comfortable on it.

Wrong. Wheel base is the same. there are NO differences in the frame or wheelbase.

OMG, we SO need another story time at Tiki this year.

That's when Sportsters were bigger. they were as big as Softails then.

I can't remember them all at once though. Strange things trigger different memories. Catts comment made me remember another one. :shrug:

Besides, his inseam warrants a full grown boy bike.

What do you know about his inseam?

 

[Agee]

Ya know... if you are considering a bike hoping that you can convince Rosered to join you for a ride while in her pencil thin skirt and stillettos... a motorcycle was NOT her choice of ride during lunch today...

Do tell

Loved to have seen her in that outfit

Check the "Compare specs" tab on the page Bob posted. They list different steering head angles and wheelbases. Small differences, but there.

Look, here is one just like Vince's new bike.

Compare apples to apples. Compare standards to standards, lows to lows, customs to customs...

Does Pax still offer the rider safety courses?

They do between the different types of sportsters. Rake and trail differs between the custom, roadster and so on.
