Ive had my Iron 883 for 7 months now. Love the looks, the sound, and the ease of parking in a tight spot. I don’t love the freeway riding but for commuting, its perfect. I will eventually get a bigger bike for longer rides but no complaints other than the 5 speed and shorter gears.
Cool part of buying an evo sportster is that you can make it anything. When you upgrade to a dyna or a softail for longer range and comfort you can turn the sportster into whatever you want. Scrambler, drag bike, with the right mods you can make them anything you want them to be. There are some great options for suspension brakes exhaust etc. There are also some great options like the a 1275 kit and trask even makes a sportster turbo. Endless possibilities are what makes them so awesome.
I love my iron. I use it to go to work and on weekends to go tool around in. The only thing that absolutely bothers me about it and why I'm looking to upgrade is that how does any mode of transportation in the year 2021 not have a fuel gauge installed. I like the bare necessities and the simple things about it but seriously. Also, the 5 gears are holding it back from being a monster.
It looks like it has ODI/Hartluck grips. The Iron 883 is geared lower than the 1200 as to keep the low end torque. They "sound" like they are screaming but the reality is most Sportsters don't pull until after 3500RPM, so ripping on a highway keeps you in a decent power range.
bro this is the exact year i’m looking at getting she’s used and has around 500 miles on the odo and i’m thinking about taking the harley classes to possibly, maybe bypass the driving test but this would be my first as well i live in cali too
I almost went with a 883 as my first bike, but decided to go with a 2011 48 sportster xl1200x and i dont regret it, i upgraded the gas tank from the peanut tank to a 4.2 gallon one and i love it more. The 1200 is also a good first bike, its all about respecting the bike and riding your own ride. Now im looking to get a 114 fatboy or 117 lowrider s or st.
I absolutely love my 2021 883. Use it to commute to work( round trip 16m) and it’s awesome. Will convert to HAMMER PERFORMANCE 1275 in the future.
Yeah buddy that'll be a good time. Planning on doing the same

They say its a girls bike, i totally agree my 883 is blacked out and attracts all the ladies, love it🤩
You should have bought the 1200 right off the hop.
Unless you like the 883, which is fair.
Sick bike! I love mine! and my ninja 650.. Ride safe
Bike looks killer!! 🔥
They feel so similar both 883/1200 not a big deal
I’ve had mine for 7 months and it’s leaking oil out the head bolts
Harley is stubborn with its 5 gears bro lol
$6 how often? Everyday going to work?
I think mine is close to 150 miles on 6$ if not more miles I never do the exact math
Maniacs
Hate the seat , sorry...883 rider
who cares?
why you hating lil bro
I do
Me who’s trynna buy one
You did to comment on his video nerd
I just don't see the point in buying an 883. The 1200 is the same size and weight.
Picked up a used Iron 1200 with only 4,000 miles over the 883.
why buy a 1200? go for a 1250 kit same size and weight. your thinking makes zero sense
