I obviously have a 1200 HD and love it so far. I have had a Honda Shadow VLX, and an '82 Yamaha 550 Maxim. IMHO you made the best choice for you and your situation. There will be plenty of 1200 Sportsters, especially with the trade in program HD is doing. Do some mods and enjoy what you have. The ONLY reason(s) I got rid of the '82 550 was because of longer distance riding, power, and 2 up riding. Man I loved that bike.
