Wise move not getting the 883. From the sounds of it you do not have the disposible income to just go out and buy a bike. Don't be bike poor just because you want it. The added cost of a H-D is huge compared to the GZ.
I was once car poor with a small fleet to support, maintain and insure. Yeah a personal fleet of stuff on wheels. That also included a couple dirt bikes and their transport trailer. Been there done that.
Buying a new ride may seem like a good idea(0%financing)at the time but what if you have a slight financial meltdown elsewhere and that new bike payment is going to hold back your recovery in a big way.
I'm all for new toys and such cause I was a younger go get em kinda guy once too. You only live once and all that stuff but just be sure you can survive your desires without being forced to live in a cardboard box. Or in a clapped out van for that matter.
