I would recommend that if you do make the wrong choice and get a 1200 sportie, you buy a used one. They are a dime a dozen and there are thousands of them for sale in the 3-4,000 range. What's that tell ya? A friend of ours just bought one (from a girl of course ) and he only paid $4000 for it. It is only a year old and he is somewhat unhappy with it too. Shakes like all get out and makes his teeth hurt he says. He really likes our Triumphs and we have to wait for him all the time as he cannot keep up with Matt and I.
