    Out of the two I'd go for a 1200, be it the one you mention, or another one that pops up. 883 could bore you sooner rather than later.

    Theres a big difference between the two.

    I bought a supposedly Bored1200
    Found out it wasn't when doing a
    rocker cover gasket(don't snap a head bolt doing one)
    so did the 1200 conversion my self,bought complete kit,barrels,pistons,gaskets from ebay.(half the price of doing it here)

    It made a BIG BIG difference.

    I agree with usa vtwin. Go 1200.

    The '06 will have EFI which makes them harder to fuck around with later on when you get bored with the 883cc too ('03 were the last of the carbed ones).

    I just happen have an '02 1200 Sportster Sport for sale at the mo - PM if you want more info.
