2. The 1200 was a o4 , mine from 09 to 2012. The 883 was mine from 2014 to 2018. My added miles : 10,000 ish/ 1200 and little more than 30,000 on the 883.
3. bought the first one for 3,200 sold it for 2,500 / 883 cost $3,000 and sold for $2,000.
It is hard to complain about riding the 1200 for 10,000 miles for a $700 investment, and the 883 for 30,000 miles for a $1,000. (Maintenance costs excluded). At those kind of prices buying used bikes is not taking food off your table.
