Why The Harley 883?

By: A R Thompson

Although Harley Davidson has been making Sportster motorcycles since 1957, the Harley 883 version was not actually introduced to the market until 1986. Today if you are looking for a Harley Davidson that is not going to break the bank then definitely the 883 may be the Harley for you.

Currently there are 8 different types of Harley Davidson Sportster motorcyles available and in this article we will be taking a close look at the 4 that come into the 883 category. As well as these four motorcycles there are 3 1200 Sportster Harley Davidson's and the XL50. This particular bike was introduced to the market this year as a celebration of the Sportster being in production for 50 years now.

The four versions of the 883 Sportster that are now offered by one of the most well recognized custom motorcycles in the world today are as follows:-

1. Harley Davidson XL Sportster 883 - Of all the motorcycles in this family this particular model is the cheapest. You will expect to pay from $6,595 up to $7,990 for this one. 2. Harley Davidson XL Sportster 883 Low - Although not as cheap as the previous model mentioned you still will easily get change out of $8,500. This one costs between $6,995 and $8,390. 3. Harley Davidson XL Sportster 883 Custom - Of all the bikes that are in the 883 Sportster category this is the most expensive. They can cost as little as $7,795 but as much as $9,555. 4. Harley Davidson XL Sportster 883R - Not as expensive as the previously mentioned version of the 883 Sportster you can still expect to pay between $7,795 and $9,050 for this particular model.

But along with producing, various different models of the 883 over the years Harley Davidson have made minor changes to their bikes in order to improve the ride. Such improvements that they have made to the bike in order to improve the bikes ride quality have included such items as an enlarged rear axle which has increased the bikes stability. They have also renewed the frame with the engine being mounted on rubber, which decreases the amount of vibration that it produces.

The other main changes that have been made on all the Sportster models and not just the 883 ones is that have a belt drive rather than a chain drive. They come with helical cut transmission gears, which has resulted in a reduction in the amount of gear whine they produce. Then this year they changed the bikes from being carburetted models instead all of the bikes in the range now have a fuel-injected engine instead.

For those who are looking for one of these iconic motorcycles which won't end up costing them a small fortune this may be the ideal bike for them. As with all Harley Davidson's the 883 models provide you with the same ride quality and prestige that the more expensive models offer. So why shouldn't they seriously consider getting themselves one of these.

So if you want to feel the wind rushing past your face just like Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda did in Easy Rider. Then why not seriously consider looking at purchasing a Harley 883 as your next motorcycle purchase.
