Today on Jon's Moto Garage we're checking out a used Harley Davidson Iron 883 Sportster (xl883n) on Craigslist. This is a 2013 and is basically stock aside from the Daymaker Headlight. I'll take it for a test ride, do my inspection and walk around, and share a mini review/thoughts and impressions on the bike. The exhaust sounds awesome on these sportsters!
Gear I Use:

Did any of you spot the gun in the video? Hahaha!
Yep, on the dudes hip. Being one who carries regularly, they tend to stand out. Guess he was protector himself from the big bad craigslist troll...
Yeah!
Of course you have a Gun on your hip when you are dealing whith a Harley MC 😂🤘
@@jimjacobsen9963 hahaha...he was a pretty cool dude. Kind of made me wanna get one myself. But I'll shoot my toe off by accident. Hahaha.
@@mrolsen6987 hahaha...right!? Too many hooligans out there!
@@JonsMotoGarage of course you should have a pistol!
I'am competition shooting caliber .22 and 9mm, it's really fun 👍
I like how you ask to see the solo seat and he proceeds to draw an outline of the solo seat! LMFAO! Is that so? Is that how it looks?? LMAO!
Hahaha...lmao! Lol.
I'm wanting to buy an Iron 883 for my first motor and your videos on the sporters have been a huge help.
Awesome video Jon.
Awesome! Glad to hear it and glad you're enjoying em/hopefully getting some value out of them. Lol. I appreciate the support! Keep me posted if you pick one up!
@@JonsMotoGarage sure will, once I get it I'll send you a photo.
Thanks mate.
@@Ihipa1 heck yeah!
Keep up hardwork and content this channel will go somewhere. Awesome stuff man
Heck yeah! Thanks a bunch, my friend! Means a lot to hear that!
I just purchased a 2013 883 Iron today I’m pretty excited about it
Congratulations Jon, the 883 is a really nice bike, and nothing beats mid controls. Enjoy!
Thanks, brotha! Nothing like that sport bike/cruiser sensation!
Nice new addition to the garrage :)
Always love to see an Iron vid
Hecks yeah! The iron 883 is such a cool bike imo.
Yup I will have one one day.Or at least go for a test ride on one
Anyway I work at a cinema and we just had the test screening for Avengers Endgame and it was wow,it was something
And before we all went home I took one of my co-workers on a very short ride through the parking lot.And if that extremely short ride counts,Daniel had the honor of being my first passenger :D
Now I wanna try doing more 2up rides,might try another parking lot ride one night after work xd
And of course if I will ever get the chanse to do a longer ride and actually get on the rode I will provide the passenger with a helmet
I might give em the bug and one day some of them might join the 2 wheel family
Haha I always thought my first 2up ride is gonna be with a girl,this was unexpected because my bike got some problems don't know what it is now and it didn't started,he was the only one who pushed me and helped me start it and I went with him back so that's my story of my first pasager ride xd
Gonna leave this here as a memory,anyway you should definetly see EndGame :)
4:44 am damn,the latest I ever got home,or should i say the earliest
Sry for bothering you with my stories but hey I just got an ideea
Maybe do a video with tips about riding with a passenger :D
883 is a solid little bike man. I rode mine like a friggin bagger. Loaded up one day rode 3hrs to my parents then did the talimena drive then back to my parents house then back home all on a little solo seat. Ended up being around 400miles that first day then 168 back home haha. Sportys can do anything!!! Congrats on the new bike
Heck yeah! The sportsters are awesome. This one already went to my buddy. Lol. He happened to be in the market so I passed the deal along to him. But I have first dibs if he decides to sell. It. Hahaha.
Very very curious your opinion what model and type of the best for beginner from cruise bikes ? Regards
Never shoulda sold the 72. Glad you’ve got a Sportster again. Congrats!
Hahaha...you know a good moto when you see one. Yeah, the 72 was a nice one as well. Went to a good home though.
Nice score. Always liked the looks of the Iron 883. Wouldn’t mind having one to bomb around on.
Thanks, brotha! Yeah, they're fun bikes for sure - and super cool looking!
Great vid! I am actually thinking of buying an iron 883. Any recommendations on what to look for buying it from a person? Anything at all would be very appreciated (never had a dealing for a vehicle before in the US)
Look up "how to buy a used motorcycle jons moto garage" and you should be able to find a video breaking down my insection/buying process.
I love the 883 but it is no longer available new in Germany and the used prices are ridiculous. I'm currently riding a street triple 675, which is of course something completely different but also extremely fun. Cheers man, love your content!
Jon, those Iron's are really nice bikes & have great low end torque which is great for street riding, also love the stance of the Iron. They have the 3.2 gallon gas tank, the 48 & 72 have the Peanut tank, nice purchase!
Heck yeah! I'm a huge fan! From the styling to the ride, great bikes!
I have a 2016 883 and I've only been able to get 2.2 gallons in mine... bout 100 miles til empty.
Only issue I have with these bikes is the tank size. Can’t go too far without looking for a gas station. Really fun to rip around on tho. Did you extend your loading ramps? They seem longer.
Yeah, the range isn't awesome. I almost got stuck once between Yuma and phx riding a nightster back. Lol. I rolled into the station on fumes and a miracle. Hahaha. Nope, ramps are the same 10' long. But the gopro angle probably distorts it a bit.
how much did you end up purchasing for ? these are like suzuki drz 400s i dont understand the pricing. 2013 models people are asking 5000 or 5500 when they are 6500 new at the dealer. can you do a vid on the iron 883 and what has changed from 2010 to 2020? and yes talk about reliability as well?
I've said anywhere from $3k to $6k on the iron 883 over the years. I think very little, if anything has changed aside from paint and aesthetics over the last decade but I could be mistaken.
How much did you pay for it? I'm thinking getting one although I'm from Ecuador and not sure how to get an iron 883 2013
The Sportys are fun. I keep one just for ripping locally. My baggers just don't sneak thru town as well.
Does a Harley really ever sneak. You can hear them a mile away.
Well except for that 883. 🤣
Hahaha...that's awesome! I know what you mean though. The sporty is a bit less assuming, doesnt draw as much attention, but still satisfies the itch to ride. I need t stay using that phrase - "sneaks around better". Nice!
Bro great vid!
I’m looking at a 2012 with 4K miles on it.
I’d like to know the price range and what I should pay for it!?
Thanks!!!
$3500-$4k private party is where id want to be, assuming it doesn't need any thing big like tires right off the bat. But the market value will vary based on area and what's available.
Jon's Moto Garage the bike is in great conditions according to the seller, he’s looking for 6k.
Says he has 5.5k in it. It looks great m going for a test drive tomorrow.
OH WOW!!! That gun!!
Hahaha. The gun adds a nice touch. The kid was pretty cool.
I'm thinking you should build some type of loading dock/ Sumo jump in your yard. lol
That's a really good idea!
Just got a 2015 today with 1700 miles! Rode it for the 1st time and now I know what the hypes all about! 🤘🏼🤙🏼 stay safe and have fun 💯
How’s it been ?
I sold it but I get a call once in a while from the owner and he says it’s all been great 👍🏼
Nice man i just got shadow outta shop it runs great now :D
Heck yeah! Gotta start poppin those wheelies! Lol. I need a shadow again, but they're hard to find. Missed out on a phantom for only $3500!!
@@JonsMotoGarage yea every one wants like 4k for them!
@@brandonbrowning8273 yup. I've had a few from back in the day. Picked one up for $3k but it was a bit rough cosmetically. Think I sold it for $3800. They're cool bikes.
@@JonsMotoGarage i find some around my area for like 2500$ with around like 8k miles
Hey Jon, how much did you pay for this? I am looking to buy this bike and trying to gauge what it's worth. I want to make sure I am not paying too much off craigslist. thanks man.
I picked this one up for $3500. But that's definitely on the low end. If you can get one for around $4500 - $5000, that seems to be more consistent here in AZ at least. Keep in mind the market varies depending where you live. If you pay upwards of $5k, you can get newer ones with much lower miles here in AZ. I saw one recently with 4k miles 2014 for $4999 obo. It looked super clean.
Jon's Moto Garage thanks for getting back to me! This is really good info for me to gauge. I live in California, I been noticing prices like that here too.
I hear they are great bikes, so why do people sell them so cheap and often?
Also, is it “easy” to upgrade a 883 to a 1200? Is it worth it?
Thanks again!
@@darenmccoy1724 I think one of the reasons they sell with such low miles in that price range is cause they're relatively inexpensive to begin with. Being an entry level bike, lots of people buy them as a first bike and then decide riding isn't for them. If you can get a 1200 nightster or 48 in that price range, I would go for it. But youll likely find that the 1200's cost a bit more. It's hard to beat the style of the iron 883.
I'm not shit talking but that is exactly the bike that my lady is intrested in getting I like the style of it too.😎🇺🇸🐻
Heck yeah! That's dope that she wants one!
Great First bike...Ride Safe
Right? Perfect and stylish entry level cruiser imo.
1st view and comment great vid love the bike.
Damn!
Second today😂
Heck yeah! You guys ROCK! I got 3rd. Lol.
Have you ever ridden a Yamaha road Star warrior the midnight style and what do you think of them if you have
I have but it's been about 4 yrs. They were always my number 1 favorite muscle bike/performance cruiser. Not necessarily top performer, but IMO it's the whole package: looks awesome (way ahead of its time), and super fun to ride. Are you getting one? Or do you have one? They're hard to find these days. I've been looking. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have always been a Harley guy but I have an opportunity to get this one it's a 2005 5000 miles I can't find anything to compare it with
@@kingsilver638 how much are they asking? I'd also recommend checking out the forums (if you haven't already). I can't speak to the longevity since I never owned one long term.
4500
@@kingsilver638 Price is good for sure. I'd probably buy it if it checked out. Lol.
You in Arizona ? Highway looks familiar
Nice bike Jon
Thanks, man! I still want a corvette! Lol.
What year is it and how much did you pay for it?
Video on your bike ramps?
You think a 2014 for 5 grand is a good deal?
Hi.. how to check petrol fuel...there is no fuel indicator
Now you just need to find that 1200L
Those are hard to find. I've only seen a few and they're all priced pretty high. My eyes are peeled though.
What's the maximum speed of this bike?
What was the asking price? Thanks for the vid.
I picked it up for $3500. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🤙🏍
Jon's Moto Garage no way I want one so bad but coming from a somewhat poor family with only my moms income I haven’t been able to start saving up for one. I have been stuck on buying a motorcycle for a couple years I am 17 now but it would make me the happiest guy in the world to have any type of motorcycle. The only inconvenience is I’m saving up for a car right now. I’m from North Carolina btw.
@@JonsMotoGarage hey bro I'm looking to get one as my first bike it's 2013 8k miles what's a good price range to spend on it I'd appreciate the help.
@@JonsMotoGarage Damn, Nice buy!!
What kind of pipes are on that? They almost look like they were stock...
Stock, but he removed the baffles. Surprisingly it still runs real smooth. No backfiring or surging.
Are you sale the bike? I saw a lot moto in your garage
Living next to this guy must be a real “blast”
From the clips you cut in during the test ride it was fairly obvious that this bike was coming home!lol 👊✌
Hahaha...no kidding. Plus I released a vid a few days back with my buddy riding it. Lol.
You need that solo seat
Is 25000 miles too much for 2012 I am looking?
The only thing I never like about the iron is the bars not a fan of bar low and close like that. But I have bad shoulders so that why I don’t like them. Harley should have had blacked out pipes in on them. With motor and everything else blacked out the pipes don’t look right. But it’s a sporty and they are fun and you could do what ever you like to them. Get the right seat you could ride hours on end. I got the sundowner seat I ride for hours and hours.
Yeah, I think the finally blacked the pipes out a few years later. Or maybe just as an upgrade. I agree it gives it a better look.
is that the stock exhaust, anyone know?
What would be a good price on that bike?
On the warrior or iron 883? Sorry, just saw our message.
Midnight warrior
@@kingsilver638 $3500-$4500 depending on condition/upgrades.
Thanks for your help.
I'm looking at a 2017 with less than 800 miles for 6500.
Reminds me of Marty Mcfly from Back to the future.
Plz tell how you keep your black powder coated engine polished qnd shiny ?
I wish I knew! They're super hard to clean/remove the dirt from.
I’m in the valley man, Mesa area I have been riding for a few years I’m looking to get a new bike just not sure what I want we should ride sometime!! Take it easy.
Heck yeah! Hit me up on ig; @jonsmotogarage.
How tall are you mate? Would a 6'2 240lbs look like a gorilla on this bike?
Hahaha....maybe a little like a gorilla. Lol. I'm 5'8" 155lbs.
Lol. Really digging the look of this bike. Too bad there's no available unit at the dealership to test fit with. Roadster is perfect for me tho'. But the price for a 1st bike
Yeah, I'm a big fan of the roadsters as well!
Didn’t know Arizona was open carry lol ✌🏻🇨🇦
Hahaha...it definitely is. Don't worry, I'll get myself one soon enough. Jk. That's the last thing you want in my hands. Hahaha.
Jon's Moto Garage lol ya I would think that kinda makes ya a target in bad guys eyes
I found one 2019 red Harley sportster for $5,000 rebuilt title from a dent on the tank is it worth it?
Please mention how much you pay for these bikes. When you buy them
I end up selling lots of the bikes so I hold off on discussing price until after they're sold. Otherwise I'm sabotaging myself. lol.
Jon's Moto Garage you’re sabotaging your youtube not saying the price. Just sell under a different company name/account.
Nice ! Gotta like the 883's...... btw...is "funner" a real word ? hahahahaha :P :P :P
@Malcolm Reynolds All together called, "funnery". hahahahaha.
@Malcolm Reynolds lmao
Hahaha...now that you mention it, maybe it's not? Lol. I wonder how long I've been getting that one wrong? But it's so much funner to say funner than more fun. And it's easier. Wait, is easier a real word? Alright, now I'm questioning everything!
Here's Professor Google says: Merriam-Webster, however, gives fun as an adjective without comment, and states that funner and funnest are 'sometimes' used.
I'm pretty sure it's not a real word.
LMAO! I love these comments! This back and forth made my day! That's what it's all about!
@@JonsMotoGarage Hey, it was you who made it funner. :P
Love the channel but i cant stand mids they drive me nuts and i m only 5'7''. Fowards all the wayyyyy .
My friend has this bike and he put forward controls on it. No problemo
Hahaha...we're opposites in that regard for sure. But I can see the appeal to forward controls as well. I just dig the sport bike stance a bit more. The beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Hahaha. Thanks for watching and commenting! I'll get a bike with forward s soon enough.
How much was it
$3500
Damn was that guy carrying a gun?
Hahaha...yeah, he was. Now I want one myself. Lol.
Guns are good. Everyone should have a couple
Hahaha...someday I'll have one...maybe.
I just bought a sportster 1200,
turns out it's an 883.
I got swindled .
Watt Earp drives a ford 😂 being from alabama i see people open carry all the time ,sum I know dont need to be carrying lol Man those sporty being good to you 🖒
Hahaha...my favorite was when a dude showed up smoking his vape with a gun stuffed in the back of his pants (like gangsters in the movies. Lol)
Evos,forever.
Them pipes gotta go to. To much chrome. Short shot Vance and hines and solo seat.
cool u bought a HALF a bike LOL !!!!
LMAO!
SHOW OFF
Is that a Honda or a Harley? That sound is weak af
Hahaha...it's a hondley. They can't all be deafening. Lol.
