883 is the kind of bike to own forever, even if you get a bigger one.
Or go back to.
Smack a 1200 kit on it :P
The Sportster is not a bike to buy if you want to ride fast. The 883 is the epitome of a true Harley Davidson motorcycle experience. If you need to go fast then you likely haven’t been riding that long to be able to tell what is a great experience on a motorcycle. Nothing beats the sound that this engine creates either. Pure Harley Davidson.
The 883.. when you feel like going for a walk but decide to take the bike instead.
@@throttleblip9854 brother can I fit air suspension in harley davidson iron 883?
how fast do you need to go?? speed limit is 65 to 75 in most states..Ive had my stock 883 2003 upto 105 stock fast enough for a sit up bike,, you sound like a noobie saying stuff like this
That's right Charlie!
but why mid controls and short bars? I'm gonna spend $2000 modifying it to be decent
I hope the 883 never goes away
the best looking of them all
I just got one😎
@@robertgarcia9710 what color you choosed?
@@ragimundvonwallat8961 matblack....my first bike. It's really fun to ride. Only had it 5 days
@@robertgarcia9710 the all black look great!, have fun my good sir, nice ride!
I love your honest reviews!! Very helpful and unbiased!! So rare for many of the Bike reviews on youtube😁

The thing a new owner MUST ABSOLUTELY DO FIRST is place the mirrors under the bars. You cannot see a THING with the factory setup. And it doesn’t cost a dime to do.
Agreed!!
Watched this video and took the plunge on buying a 2k 2014 883, my first bike since a gsxr750 20 years ago, love the bike, love the brand and even love the seat, plenty quick enough for uk roads, thanks for my pre purchase review…
*In the US, when they talk about speed it's usually because they're on the country roads.* The 883 is best in the city and suburbs. Some have said it's more maneuverable than the Iron 1200.
I bought this bike and I love it, I get a lot of compliments it’s unbelievable 💯👊🏾
Excellent review. Informative, funny, no stuttering, no redundancy of information, and it felt a little personal in a good way as well like he’s a buddy.
About the seat, I love the seat. As a female I find the seat super comfortable. My husband changed his seat on his bike because the same reason you talked about. But I will always choose this seat. The cushion between my legs is part of what I like. So yes men don’t love the bulky-ness but I do.
Are you a desi? According to dictionary, desi is a person of Indian, Pakistani, or Bangladeshi birth or descent who lives abroad.
I agree. The seat is great for me. I am a male at 5' 8" and The bike fits me well. The seat is very comfortable.
I have one… it’s faster than a 2 door caddy. The front wheel will come off the ground in second if you hit it right. It’s light and just right for your daily commute. I love it!!! I wanted the 48 but i didn’t need 1200cc…
883 is my very first motorcycle bike. Awesome review.
Traded in my 2015 vulcan 650 for a 2021 iron 883 exact same color and graphic and all! I love it.
You made a right decision 👍
About to buy a 2021 883 come Thursday. First bike I’ve ever officially owned. I couldn’t be more excited. The seat isn’t too bad, definitely going to look into changing it. But 100% changing the mirrors asap. Couldn’t see for shit on my test ride. 😂 thank you for the honest review!
How do u like it now?
I was unsure of the seat at the beginning of the my first ride on mine... but the seat grows on you. I agree about the mirrors. I am still trying to figure out a fix for that. I am hoping moving them down low will fix that.
I agree about the mirrors. My fix was purchasing extensions on Amazon and that fixed the issue for me.
I am in love with the bike.
Looks like a good buy!
I would have a matte finish same everything and flat but raised badge instead of a sticker - have a liking for raised badges!
Thanks for your review. I just bought this bike and I must say the seat is fine for me. It is comfortable.
Great to hear!
I love this type 883 thank you for make the video
Glad you like it!

I would prefer the 883 over the 1200 because the 1200 has a gap between the seat and the fuel tank. The 883 has a different seat which hides that gap. I've never owned a Sportster, but have always loved them. I've owned 16 motorcycles, three of which were Harleys, two Heritages and a Tri Glide and I'd still love to own a 883. When we travel we ride 400 to 500 per day, but we take breaks every hour or hour an a half, and we never travel faster than 65mph and a Sportster can do that just fine. LONG LIVE THE SPORTSTER!!!
I don’t like that gap either, it looks “unfinished” to me. I LOVE the look of the 883 being blacked-out.
Fantastic review!
I’d like to see review of 883 vs Indian scout 60
I am 6, and I never had issues with the seat or the riding posture.
Thank you for your review I'm looking to get my first bike and learn how to ride, It's good to know that seat needs to be replaced 😃.
I bought the 2020 model and I love it as my first cruiser style bike. It’s a lot different from crotch rockets and dirt bikes!! Lol! First thing I did within the first month was, I got 12” handle bars. Longer cables (brake, throttle and clutch) so that I wasn’t leaning over as much with the stock bars. I also have a bad back… exhaust was 2nd and now looking for a new seat and forward controls. Definitely a great bike to learn, enjoy riding and very customizable to your specific riding style. Highly recommended!
@@michaelrussell7396 I bought Dyna Street Bob.
If you don’t flip those mirrors right off the dealer floor, you’ll see nothing but shoulders and arms lol. But it’s such a beautiful machine. It’s the quintessential Harley to me
Remember his eyes is one position and the go pro is in somewhere in the helmet 😂
Just got a 2022 883 so hyped
Just got my 2021 883 and I honestly love the seat! Gonna switch my mirrors out asap like you recommended.
Park it under my truck on the freeway while you're at it!
Just bought my first bike first harley, its 2021 iron 883 I'm glad I did
I literally just got mine today from timms , it's supposed to come Thursday
Just bought today the 2022 and I love the bike. I'm a male 5.5 and i'm like a girl i think but for me it's ok. You just made a great job with your video and I appreciate it a lot. I came from driving a Honda Shadow and for me this is good to have as a first Harley. Besides, I jus drive it to go about 10 miles not every single day. Thank you for your video. Really helpful!
Thanks for the love and congratulations on the new bike!!
Just bought mine 2 days ago! 🔥👌
Hope you enjoy it!
i drive a 2000 electors glide ultra and that is too much bike most days. would love to get a iron
I’ve wanted an iron for years, I hope I get to own one some day.
I literally just bought a 2021 black denim Iron 883 today, I’ve been riding since I was a kid, but I really like this bike
Nice to hear that, is the exhaust sound same like on 2016-2017 model?
@@atanas4220 I would assume so, they’re mechanically identical
I bought one today too
I'm 55+, never rode a bike, and currently learning how to ride. And this has my attention. Any advice for me wether or not it's for beginners? Weight?. Also first 2 things I'd change is the exhaust ( I like them loud) and seat
@@Robocoppat they are a pretty good beginner bike, not too much power. They weigh 564 lbs. seat height is 27.5 inches
We like the seat. My daughter bought one. I like it and I’m used to a street bob 114.
I got an 883 two months ago as a first bike... now I want a Fatboy thou not sure if that is advisable since I've heard they are harder to corner with and control.
if i could afford it i would choose iron 883 or 48, but for now it's just a dream for me.
super cool motorcycle👍
I am coming from the world of sport bikes... I am done with railing... This bike is perfect for the type of riding I am down for now. I do not have a problem getting it up to speed quickly.
A stage 1 would def wake it up a little and make it a great bike for what you're looking to do.
Well I hope it will be there for another 2 years cuz am saving up for this bike for ages now
Have Mercy I hope they live on long enough for me to get one I'm both on a budget and first bike so the sportser is my bike I hope it lives on for a year or two subscribed to ya channel awesome look forward for more
Absolute beautiful 👍
Nice looking motorcycle! Great video.
Thank you!
Has it got a gear indicator and does it keep your lumbar upright
Hi Good day, Since this bike doesn't have fuel gage , is there any tools or gage i can buy for me to know if i still have gas while cruising? I badly need it so i have 100% full confidence to cruise without thinking the gas
I really want to learn how to ride a motorcycle because these 883’s are beautiful
I’ve never been on a motorcycle nor do I know how to ride one but I love this bike. This makes me want to learn to ride. Standing at 5’2 idk if I can even ride one lol.
Cool video I appreciate this a lot. I’m thinking of buying this bike for my first and I’m pretty excited for it.. mental note buy a seat with it lol
Hahaha for sure.
I just bought one & decide to get a little time on the bike before I select another seat.That way I have a good idea of what I want
Thanks for the video. What did you think of the 883's suspension? I had a '98 883 with longer travel suspension and I wonder how they compare? Also, HD seats aren't always the greatest. I put a sundowner seat on my 883 and I should have replaced the seat on my FLD. The 2001 Heritage had the best factory seat of the 3.
It was okay. I mean it's not something I felt I'd HAVE to upgrade but it would def be nice to do. The bridge I cross on the test ride has a pretty good bump and I felt it bottom out. I didn't adjust before riding so maybe that would have helped. I'm 205lb which is a on the heavier side for the average Sporty rider.
Can I fit air suspension in harley davidson iron 883?
I think it's an awesome looking bike. I would have it as a second bike in my stable next to my dyna fat bob 😎
I want that Iron 883 so badly!
Which is the best Harley Variant for entry level🤔
Would you recommend as a first motorcycle
I put a LaPara seat on mine and dropped those mirrors because I had the same problem with only being able to see myself out of them. In all its a nice beginner/budget bike that has near limitless customization options.
Literally limitless options for that bike. Do you think you'll ever do a 1200 kit on it?
@@throttleblip9854 I might if I decide to keep it instead of trading it for a Fatboy.
Hello, I am 5 Feet 4 inch height and I am planning to buy my first bike.Will this bike fits me?
A excellent entry level bike
I’ve got a 2003 883 Hugger as my “light” cruiser. Perfect around town. For the Highway I’ve got a softail but the Sportster is a go to for daily short rides.
Do us all a favor and go wrap it around a tree on the edge of town!
Do it when nobody else is around to care about you and your broken bones
I think whenever Harley Davidson decides to do away with the sportster or just decides to do away with the evo motor they should do a limited edition like a finial edition or something kinda like a CVO and yes I know they can’t do much to it but I think it would be awesome
I think that would be an awesome idea! I guess time will tell!
I’m looking forward to buying my first motorcycle can anyone offer me any tips? I’ve been looking at the iron 883.
I just bought 2week ago,its amazing
Nice man! Enjoy.
@@throttleblip9854 thanks
Brother can I fit air suspension in harley davidson iron 883?
My first bike was a 2015 883 iron! I didn't know how to a motorcycle but I taught myself on the 883. I'm a small guy 5ft 4, so it fit right for me. I rode from Kansas City to Oklahoma and Arkansas on it with no problems! But yes the stock seat sucks! I ended up getting a different seat that was more comfortable. I got a lot of compliments on my 883. It is slow but it will take off faster than the Street Glide but eventually the Street Glide will catch me. I got rid of it and bought a naked sports bike. Loved the sport bike but their were times I wished I still had the 883 to just to cruise on. I'm thinking about getting another 883. They are better than what people think. Top speed is only 110 after you break it in. Not fast but not exactly slow either.
Dope vid. I subbed
Appreciate it!
Theres tons of aftermarket stuff for the 883
I don't like how the slipons are not double pipe at the end
Is this bike too small for frequent rides Baton Rouge to San Antonio?
I am going to buy this when I get older
Might get one tonight
they need to make this bike but with forward controls and higher bars. Also I'm 5' 7" coming from mid controls
🙂 Sportser Sportser..My friend has one and I rode it. Me being 5ft. shorty it's ok, the seat yes not comfy. Light weigh different from my 2007 Sportser XL 883L But fun to ride.
Happy Trails & Thank you. Be safe
Cali GooseHD Lady 🙃
Ive been eyeing the Iron 883 for the longest time, I'm 5ft3, is this bike easy to mod and lower? or is it good enough right off the lot for a short dude? Thanks!
you wont need to lower it. Im 5"6 and i EASILY flat foot it with a big bend in my knee.
Same here, I’m eying this for an month, I’m 5’2”. Never rode an bike before
I bought the sundowner seat for mine and although it looks kind of lame, it's comfy as hell
I've seen that with a lot of seats, the bigger and uglier the easier it is to log the long miles on! No one can see it when you're sitting on it anyway! hahaha
@@throttleblip9854 Exactly lol
Those are so fun to ride
Why don't these bikes have tachs? How do you know when to shift? Nice looking bike but doesn't look like a good fit for taller riders.
The sportster actually sounds more authentic and has that old school sound compared to the newer bigger engine bikes that harley makes...
Great power band, great sound…what’s not to like in a scooter?
My apple juice and fruit snacks are flying out of my nose and mouth. Lmao.
I dont care what ANYBODY says the Iron series look COOL! Theyre just like lil Bobber style bikes. Like a Manny Paquia- small and ready to kick some ass (Seat and Bars would have ro be changed out on 883 though 😂)
hahahahaha
will this be a good first bike?
I just bought this same bike 2021 iron 883 same paint scheme a week ago. I love the bike. For more power I down shift. I'm 6 foot 1. I really love the bike. I don't like the seat cause after 3 hours riding I'm sore. I bought the 883 for the price
Nice. I'd definitely get a seat for that bad boy, this one looks cool but that's it! haha
@@throttleblip9854 yeah it's very uncomfortable the seat. The mirrors suck hahaha. For me plenty of power for now. My friend has a 2010 Fatboy 1700cc. He smokes me. I tried to race him. I kept up but couldn't beat him. Hahaha. I love the look of the 883 I have. River rock denim gray on black. Man she looks mean. Definitely need different seat.
Just bought one today.
Awesome man!
That's a dope bike.
Had a old kz750 it was fun, 92 Suzuki 600, now looking towards this, the Kawasaki Vulcan s or the Yamaha bolt
You may also want to check out the Triumph Bobber or a Harley Street Bob. Good hunting for your bike. I've owned 16 bikes in 35 years of riding. Hunting and finding the right bike for the moment is fun.
This was my first bike. 2010
Cool little bike but too expensive new for me, good thing there is a great used market
I hate the exhaust on the 1200 S. I hope someone will make some pipes that will put the exhaust back down where it belongs
The interior is like a high-end hotel on wheels.
Is this bike comfortable for someone thats 5,68 feet
Fun, dependable & economical transportation...
I just bought a 2009 Sportster. I got a good price on it and am going to spend $1,500. on Ohlin rear shocks. I have ordered a different seat. So I am going to have a smooth ride. Here are two things that people don't understand. A Harley Sportster is a very good SECOND bike. The other thing is that women might be better adapted to Harley Sportster seats due their different anatomy. 👍
I own a 2017 883.
Male 5'11"
200lbs.
I agree.
Seat and exhaust.
Your good too go.
Saddleman makes a great longer seat that sits you back little farther.
Other than that I have no issues with the riding position.
I'm gonna be getting one soon. Was considering the 12 inch mini apes. And the front fairing for it. It'll be first ever bike.
How much should I expect to pay our the door for this?
Im 5'11, would this be a good bike to ride to school and back?
Short trips no problem. I wouldn't want to be on it all day but for commuting its great. Budget friendly. Good on gas. Easy to park.
No, you will need a 10 speed mountain bike as long as you ask an adult first
@@chrisaskme811 lol
Call me crazy my friend taught me how to ride a motorcycle on his street glide and I think Harley Davidson 883 is it a phenomenal bike? It’s not built to win races it’s built for cruising. If you live in the city it’s a great bike. If you’re always on the highway it would not be a great bike.
thinking this will be my first bike.
I have this exact same bike lol... same color and all 😂😂
This is still a great entry level cruiser, I just did a quick walk around on it, check it out if you like
I’m probably the only person who would like this with DCT.
The short shifter design for smaller riders. Mirrors are adjustable. And you're a little too big for the bike. Great starter bike 👍
Я один из тех, кому нравятся стоковое сидение на этом байке)) а насчёт зеркал согласен - или переставить вниз, или заменить на другие)
I guess I deleted my last comment ,somehow ?? I'll be paying the down payment and signing on the line this afternoon n a 2020 scorched orange -sliver flux 883. My first bike. Thinking of cobra RPT slip-ons for that Harley rumble. A new seat ,relocate the speedo and some custom wheels. That enough for now lol
Hahah that will definitely have you sitting ride for some good spring riding! Congrats on the new wheels. Stay safe.
"it's a nice beginner bike" Aus has a 150-650cc limit for first time riders XD The Rebel 500 is currently king of the cruiser learners here in Aus
i want to buy one
Change the pipes at the dealership pre delivery...
