I do agree with the suspension being stiff on the '22 Iron 883,but the rest isn't true or at least that's my opinion. While not the most comfortable bike that I've ridden but it's not that bad and I would ride mine anywhere. Whomever made this video either has never ridden an Sportster Iron 883 or is going by what they've read coming from someone who doesn't know.
Well I’m guessing the person who programmed the computer voice to say all this has either never ridden this bike or has only ridden it in Phoenix traffic in the middle of July. Mine handles the freeway just fine and the vibrations are less than my Dyna was. Heat has not been an issue, it doesn’t seem to get any hotter than my Heritage does (2020). Yes the suspension is something to be desired, from the factory, good news is there are tons of suspension options available. Lastly, I found the brakes to be just fine. Any more aggressive on the front and the rear wheel will be coming off the ground. I always start braking with the rear, and it does just fine, I pull in the fronts a second or two later and the bikes draws to a smooth easy stop. If you are trying to compare it to sport bikes or other standard type bikes it will lack, but they are a different class all together. The Honda Rebel 500 or 1100 is the only close competitor that I know of in class and performance, and honestly I found the Rebel to be half the bike, even with 2x the tech.
Still,the,best, sounding,harley,out,there.

The Iron 883 was introduced in 2009, not 2010. The wheels are nine spoke, not seven spoke.
Most of these comments are not true
You’re right. I have one and majority of this video isn’t true
