How tough to handle is the Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 compared to the Sportster 883?
I love the new 1200 Nightster, but I’m not sure if it’s going to be too powerful. I actually looked at the specs, and the 1200 is a lighter bike.
I love the new 1200cc Nightster, but i’m concerned as to whether or not it has too much power and weight (especially weight) for someone not used to heavy motorcycles – I ride dirtbikes. I found out that the 883 actually weighs more than the Nightster, so I’m wondering how this all plays out. Thanks in advance!
In case it helps, I’m on the small side – about 5’8″, 170. I’m athletic, and I’ve handled bikes before (albeit dirtbikes), so I hope I won’t have much trouble with these bikes.
look up the weight for the roadster. that’s my bike. running weight is 585 and it rides well enough to do 400+ miles in a day. and in the twisties, its responsive enough for me. u will have fun with this bike for sure. just get a sundowner seat put on it from the get-go and u’ll be happy. i’m too tall for a nightster….my seat is 4″ higher. and once the bike gets going, its very easy to handle. u would do well to ignore these idiots have have zero saddle time, have never been on a sportster on the street, and have no clue to what they’re talking about. u’ll appreciate the weight as it absorbs the road bumps.
