Hey guys

Decided I wanted a Harley recently so decided to go across to Harley Davidson in Nottingham.

Test rode the Harley Iron first, followed by the Street Rod.

I really liked the Iron and it’s low down grunt and even though it wasn’t the quickest I loved it’s character. I felt good riding the bike.

Then I took out the Street Rod which blew me away, very similar to the MT07 I passed on but was super quick nimble and still felt and looked fantastic.

The problem is, I think the sportster is More traditional Harley.

Basically I’m properly stuck. Street Rod is cheaper, faster and still looks beauty.

Iron is traditional Harley and looks incredible.

Any thoughts from anyone?

Btw I own a ZX6R which if I got the Iron would stay but I think if I got the street rod it could go....
 
I was leaning towards new on a PCP but head is saying wait save a little and buy second hand.

I really loved the experience today.
 
Harley have increased the price of the Iron to 8895 presume as new model is out / about to come out but my dealership still has brand new couple of month old models at 7995 with a 500 contribution towards a load of accessories so buying new in that case doesn't seem too bad?

Pls help with my choice lol. So torn

Head and wallet says Street Rod, still looks pretty badass was the bike I originally went to see before introduced to the Iron, to me it’s a great value bike and entry into HD

Heart and logic out the window says Iron, classic Harley looks not as much go as the Rod could that get annoying after time?

The rod is similar to what I’m used to coming from a super sports but still has the Harley essence.

So yea I’m no closer lol and I spent over an hour on each bike.

The iron had me giggling because well it’s classic Harley

The streetrod had me giggling because it is bloody quick and still a bit Harley
 
I think if I’m going HD around this budget it just has to be the iron and potentially keep my sports bike for the times I want to ride harder...
