2010 Nightster

Don't know much about the newer Sportstera but I'm looking at a 2010 Nightster.  The original owner tells me it's a 1200.  What is the easiest way to tell if it is not a 883.  I think in 2010 the Nightster came in 883 and 1200.  Thanks for the advice.  It's been a long time since I had a Sporty.

The VIN will tell the story of what it was coming out of the factory.

A 1200 Nightster will have "CZ" as the 5th and 6th "digits".  The 4th digit is a 1 if a 1200, a 4 if an 883.

It appears that Nightsters came as 1200 only.  There was an Iron which was a 883 ("LE" as the 5th and 6th "digits" in VIN).
