Had a thread on here before, just asking folk for their views on the new, 2011 1200Custom.
Anyway, test rode one a few weeks ago and loved it. Problem was, there's a real shortage of sportsters, new & used, in Europe at the minute and local dealer said it would be about 3 monts waiting list, maybe more.
Hit lucky and managed to source one in England. It's a Demo, black (which I wanted), 550 miles and a few extras in chrome belt guard, battery & oil covers and script hand grips - looks really good. Gettin it for 1K below the retail price, which I think is good considering that the extra bits alone cost about a grand. Deposit paid & I'm getting her shipped over next week.
Bubbies advice before was "ride it/if ye like it/buy it" and, ye know what?....there's a lot to be said for direct talking!!
I don't mean to cross threads here but...the one about sportsters being "manly"?...Bubbie's right on the money there too.
Not good at computer stuff but will try and post pics soon
