      You can get a used R1 for in that budget buddy. Incase you zero in on the R1 i suggest you get in touch with STRIDER for your queries.

        I had a opportunity to take the Iron for test ride around Cubbon Park. I was amazed by the ease of riding this one. It was simple to control it in Bangalore Traffic. I now have more confidence on using it daily. The acceleration is quite easy to handle, but pulls you too quick if you twist a bit more .

        First decide your profile. Are you looking for sport bike or cruiser or naked bike or something else? If sports bike, then Ducati might also be a good option. Showroom is opening on Lavelle Road, very near to Harley showroom.

          ^^ Hey bro! would it be possible for you to elaborate on your first ride experience? I'm sure it was short, but I would like to know about the turning radius and some details on the slow speed behavior, since you were in traffic.

          Thanks in advance.

            iron 883 test ride experience

            I took a test ride on the HD iron 883 this afternoon.. here is what i felt.
            AAAAAAAWWWWEEESSSSOOMMMMEEEEEE

            First of all you need to be wearing jeans and boots to get a test ride!! was sent back yesterday when i went in formals
            Also need to give them your ORIGINAL drivers license and credit card ( in came you bang the bike you can swipe ur card n take it home hehehe)

            ride height was spot on for me.
            really need to stretch out to reach the handle bar for a shorty like me ( I am 5'6")
            very nice exhaust note but has a fair amount of mechanical noise from engine too but not offensive at all.
            gear shifts with a loud clunk but precise.
            got loads n loads of torque right at the bottom jus love the feeling.
            decent ride quality on the good roads where i rode (St Mark's Rd)
            maneuverability is good for the size of the bike.
            really really looking fwd to owning one
            The wait list is anywhere between 4& 6 months at bangalore now :-(

              I also took the Test Drive of Iron 883 today.. Infact me and Aditya ( n_aditya) both took the test drive and was completely overwhelmed.
              I asked the service manager also about Srisetty's HD delivery. He told 1-2 weeks more and it will be delivered..

              One pic which was clicked by Adi..

                Congrats on the booking.

                Hope you enjoy your Harley as and when you get it.

                A word of caution. The GC on these bikes are very low, and be careful going over speedbreakers, especially the gigantic ones in Blore. Be sure to stop and crawl. Any speed and you will scrape the bottom. If you do scrape, don't worry, it's not the end of the world because you will only rub the bottom of the frame, and no critical components. The oil drain plug (plastic fitting on a rubber tube) looks dangerous dangling between it, but is more rugged than it looks.

                Have been using a XL1200N Nightster for over a year in and around CBE, so speaking from experience.

                Ride Safe.

                  Good that you didn't try with formals. Else you would have wasted one trouser Don't worry about stretch out. You can fit in reduced reach seat which will bring you closer.

                  Thank you. Nightster is supposed to be better in terms of GC (125 mm). During my test ride, I went over few "regular" humps. I did few at very slow speed and some I just hopped to just check. Didn't scrape even once... I am now more confident.

                      yeah! how come the bike is in Yellow? I was under the impression that the only color it comes in is Matt Black. I must go and find out from the showroom i guess. The yellow does look nice.

                          Yeah the bikes looks bit thin because of the Tank(12.5 l) and the Headlight which seems Punny as comapred to other Harleys ( Fatboy especially)
                          But you can change and go for aftermarket one, which may set you back by many grand ( as per the Showroom Staff)

                          (Or may be because i look fat with Jacket on, so the HD may be looking thin..
                          )

                            Yellow/black color would be available soon. I don't know if bookings can be made with that option...

                            Yes, it looks nice. Mind that when you want to customize, you would struggle a bit.

                            Iron is an entry level model. It is smaller compared to fatboys or nightrods.

                            What is your height? You seem to touching the ground on toes...

                              By many grand i meant to say, the after market modifications might prove costly.. there are 'N' number of items you can change on any Harley.. Just ask the HD staff and you will be awestruck...( we were at least..)..

                              BTW, I am 5'10 and i guess the ride height it quite good for city riding as well as for touring.....

                                Its called "Harley Tax"...and that turns into a life-long obsession for some Harley riders.
