Our weekly Sunday breakfast ride takes us to a Harley dealership a block from our favorite waitress. Nice shop: friendly people. The bike that caught my eye was an 883R Sportster in black everything. Something about that blacked out engine and the checkered tank gets to me (visually). My Speedmaster and my Thunderbird Sport have black engines. I see a trend here.
I test road an 883 and a 1200 in Daytona last year. Vibes were way down, but so was the power. If I ever win the powerball, I'd probably buy the 883R and "biggie size"" it(not to mention a pole barn full of other bikes).
$174 million in powerball today. Good luck.
