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.
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…
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.
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.
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
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!!!
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
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 😂)
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 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!
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.
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
@@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.
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
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.
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
I sold my 2017 SG it was big and heavy being I don’t have a lot of free time and could no longer cook Mute on it I got rid of it. Looking to build an iron enduro style for quick store runs and rip around the city.
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.
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!
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
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
The 883 is a meaner looking bike then the 1200. I wish Harley made a sportster 1200 that looks like an 883. That would be dope! I am on my 3rd sportster. I have been riding the 2016 Iron 883 Since January 2016 and I am keeping this bike until it explodes.
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.
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
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.
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.
@@throttleblip9854 I am originally from anderson but I live in pelzer now. I own some businesses in Clemson and Easley. I have really been looking into getting my first bike and I keep coming back to the Vulcan S. My buddy bought a iron 883 about a year ago and we got to talking, so I just happened to be looking up some reviews!
My girly just bought this today, I test drove it, I actually dig the seat honestly. I’m 5’9” ~200lbs. I’d need a longer ride to really get a feel for it, but the little trip I took felt really comfortable. I have two minor complaints on it. The mid controls are kind of awkward when coming to a stop and putting your feed down. Really have to put my feet wide outside of those controls to be comfortable. Im sure they make a forward control relocation for it. Second might be more common these days but I’m just used to turn signals on the left hand, but the left and right signals are on the each individual hand… not a big deal, minor complaint because i am just not used to it.
They do make a forward control kit for it. I know what you're saying about the location. I also get the turn signal thing. I ride so many bikes I never got a chance to get used to any one style which is good and bad. haha
Just bought a 2021 883 today. It’s my second bike, but I’m coming off a little 250 sport bike lol. I feel like I’m going from having the pizza delivery boys bike to having a bad ass Harley. I do really want a brown seat though. So far I’m in love with it. I might go bigger in a few years though!
@@robertgarcia9710 Nice dude! Congrats! Someone told me that moving from my little bike to this was going to be going straight across on power but that’s not even close to being true. My 883 is so much more powerful than my little starter bike.
Oh by far much more power. You know people are always going to have their opinions that's just what it is. As long as we love our bikes brother it's all good
🙂 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 🙃
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
I hope the 883 never goes away
the best looking of them all
I just got one😎

I love your honest reviews!! Very helpful and unbiased!! So rare for many of the Bike reviews on youtube😁

I don’t like that gap either, it looks “unfinished” to me. I LOVE the look of the 883 being blacked-out.
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 👍
I am also really enjoying my 883. Got 14 inches handle bar, raised the fuel tank, got crash guards. Gives a cool look now.
Raised tank is definitely a good look. 👍🏼

Hahah that will definitely have you sitting ride for some good spring riding! Congrats on the new wheels. Stay safe.
The short shifter design for smaller riders. Mirrors are adjustable. And you're a little too big for the bike. Great starter bike 👍

I’m probably the only person who would like this with DCT.
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!
I really want to learn how to ride a motorcycle because these 883’s are beautiful
The sportster actually sounds more authentic and has that old school sound compared to the newer bigger engine bikes that harley makes...
I bought the sundowner seat for mine and although it looks kind of lame, it's comfy as hell

Do it when nobody else is around to care about you and your broken bones

you wont need to lower it. Im 5"6 and i EASILY flat foot it with a big bend in my knee.

The 883 is a meaner looking bike then the 1200. I wish Harley made a sportster 1200 that looks like an 883. That would be dope!

883 is too expensive for your first bike, first bike means cheap so when you drop it, you don’t feel sad!
Go to a riding course and drop their bikes, then go buy one haha
Dont drop it lol

Thank you!
they need to make this bike but with forward controls and higher bars. Also I'm 5' 7" coming from mid controls
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
Fantastic review!
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
The interior is like a high-end hotel on wheels.
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.
Theres tons of aftermarket stuff for the 883
Which is the best Harley Variant for entry level🤔
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 😎
Hello, I am 5 Feet 4 inch height and I am planning to buy my first bike.Will this bike fits me?
This is still a great entry level cruiser, I just did a quick walk around on it, check it out if you like
If Harley just improve a little the suspension and the seat, reduce vibration and price for 9k, this bike would be perfect.
Just bought one today.
Awesome man!

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 do like the looks of the Iron 883. I kinda wish you could get the Iron 1200 that looked more like the 883. Good video, brother... again.
I agree
Brother can I fit air suspension in harley davidson iron 883?
Harley Davidson Forty Eight ?

bro you're from anderson??? thats crazy!!! small world man
Yes sir. You here?
@@throttleblip9854 I am originally from anderson but I live in pelzer now. I own some businesses in Clemson and Easley. I have really been looking into getting my first bike and I keep coming back to the Vulcan S. My buddy bought a iron 883 about a year ago and we got to talking, so I just happened to be looking up some reviews!
I don’t know why people hate on the 883, they are so sick …
My girly just bought this today, I test drove it, I actually dig the seat honestly. I’m 5’9” ~200lbs. I’d need a longer ride to really get a feel for it, but the little trip I took felt really comfortable.
I have two minor complaints on it. The mid controls are kind of awkward when coming to a stop and putting your feed down. Really have to put my feet wide outside of those controls to be comfortable. Im sure they make a forward control relocation for it.
Second might be more common these days but I’m just used to turn signals on the left hand, but the left and right signals are on the each individual hand… not a big deal, minor complaint because i am just not used to it.
They do make a forward control kit for it. I know what you're saying about the location.
I also get the turn signal thing. I ride so many bikes I never got a chance to get used to any one style which is good and bad. haha
Can I install 180 tire kit let me know please awesome bike
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
Cool little bike but too expensive new for me, good thing there is a great used market
Dad of all bikes
He basically just called a $13000 bike a budget bike 🤣 I agree w the logo. Looks great.
They were 11 which is far cheaper than anything they offer this year 🤷🏻♂️

Just bought a 2021 883 today. It’s my second bike, but I’m coming off a little 250 sport bike lol. I feel like I’m going from having the pizza delivery boys bike to having a bad ass Harley. I do really want a brown seat though. So far I’m in love with it. I might go bigger in a few years though!
Same here. Sold my cbr250r. And got my 883. 5 days ago. Love it.
@@robertgarcia9710 Nice dude! Congrats! Someone told me that moving from my little bike to this was going to be going straight across on power but that’s not even close to being true. My 883 is so much more powerful than my little starter bike.
Oh by far much more power. You know people are always going to have their opinions that's just what it is. As long as we love our bikes brother it's all good
I'm 5'8" and 220lbs am I too fat for sporster?. Hey you should make a video and upload it to your channel.
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.
Would you recommend as a first motorcycle
🙂 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

With stock exhaust it doesnt even sound like Harley but its good beginner Harley rider bike. Love from Finland
