As far as 2009 Sportsters go, I think it's a great looking bike and you'd be getting a reasonable price.
I would wonder if you would outgrow the Sportster (?). I haven't ridden one. I don't know. I have only heard of folks outgrowing their Sportster quickly. Kinda like a GZ. LOL. I know the Harley engine delivers it's power differently than other motorcycles. So an 883 doesn't necessarily feel like, say, an 805 from a Suzuki or a Kawasaki. It would feel less powerful than the Japanese bike (or that's how I understand it, again, never ridden one and I could be totally wrong).
Personally, I'd rather save up my money (rather than finance now) and instead get a used VStar, Intruder, Vulcan, Shadow, Boulevard, etc down the road. But that's just me. Lots of folks love Harley!
I think it's a great color. Great chrome. Looks super nice! If it's your thing, sounds like a good buy.
