Do you consider the Harley 883 Sportster a chick bike?

So, based on price I'm deciding between the 883 Sportster and the 1200 Sportster Harley. Would you buy the older 1200 or the newer 883? They're the same price. The 2005 - 883 has 1200 miles on it, but the 1996 - 1200 Sportster has 26K miles on it. But, being as the 883 might be referred to as a chick bike, I just wanted some opinions.

Not so much chick bikes, but the Sportsters are considered"Starter Bikes". Also, they aren't very comfortable. You can get a better, more reliable, and much more comfortable bike for the same money if you don't insist on getting a Harley.

If you have your heart set on a sportster, my advice is what was told to me:

Get the 1200, after 6 months the 883 will seem weak and you will just have to turn it into a 1200.

Of course, it all depends on your riding level and love, but i got the 1200 and am glad.

An andrews 8 cam and a thunderheader exhaust: works for me.
