Harley-Davidson 2012 and 2013 VRSCDX recall

I have to admit...this is a sweet looking bike! Maybe this'll be my next bike...(after the fix)

My choice: Harley Davidson Iron 883 - what's yours?

So, I’m trying to figure out what I want for my next bike. It’s not all that easy to make a decision, you know. Obviously it’ll be a Harley, obviously. But, what model? What color? What type of handlebars? What year? So many choices!!

Right now I’m leaning towards the Iron 883. It’s all black (although, you can get it in a couple other colors, I prefer the black), sleek, raw, and just gorgeous! And because it’s a H-D, it can be customized however I like.

I’d love to hear other opinions of favorite H-D's and why…
