You need to look at several things. The 3 biggest things that come to mind are these. #1 the street's will run cooler than the 883. #2 the street's are lighter than the 883. #3 the streets have a lower center of gravity than the 883. #4 even, the street's will be much smoother than the 883
An 883 will shake you up at red lights and stop signs. It has a higher center of gravity. It will be louder. It will run much hotter (a big deal in hot areas of the world, it stays close to 100F here in Florida during summer)
In short, if you want the rumble and "feel" of a classic HD then you want the 883. If that doesnt appeal to you I would suggest the street.
Just as I told my wife when she wanted to get a sportster, youll grow out of the small quickly. If you going to take the plunge on a new bike might as well step up to the bigger engine. In this case either the 1200 sporty or the 750 street. Be smart about it and ride it right, control your throttle hand and either can be ridden like a 883 or 500 but a 883 or 500 cannot be ridden like a 1200 or 750..............
