I bought a new 2006 Sportster 883cc and had it immediately converted to 1250cc with a Weisco kit.

First, unless you weigh substantially less than say.....175 lbs (I do not) you will find it an uncomfortable miserable motorcycle to ride. It has shitty suspension (I installed Prog Susp lowered shocks, but it didn't help) a small gas tank and an even shittier seat and is a tall skinny bike that folks under 5'-8" or so will have to tip toe at stops.

That being said, about $5k will really fix most of the "inherent" problems, and they are fast as hell. Your test ride will immediately confirm whether you are the "Sportster" type. For a couple thou more, I'd recommend a Dyna Super Glide . It's a herd more bike and infinitely more comfy. I sold my Sporster after only six months.

But hey, you may like it.. Good luck on your test ride.
