Curt,
if you still have that CR you shouldn’t regret that choice. Those are collectors items now.

Sam: That’s true. When I bough my first new Harley I was torn between a Low Rider and a XLCR. I bought the CR and it was really too light and uncomfortable to do the kind of riding I wanted to do. The bikes were both the same price. I often regretted my choice.

I recommended the 883 Iron, but I don’t know how the ergonomics between the rider and an 883 would have been. If he’s a big guy it wouldn’t have fit which would have made it uncomfortable and dangerous. Hopefully he’ll stay off the main roads till he gets some experience.

A 883L would have probably been a better choice for a first bike, but on the other side of the coin he could have shown up on a Buell. With the 5000.00 dealer incentive he could have bought a lot faster bike for less money.

As a mom myself, I’d choke about a 1200 sport as a first bike. That can get you in a lot of trouble.
