I think I am ready for Harley Davidson having turned certain age recently. always liked the look of 883 but just been reading up on them and apparently it’s bottom entry level model? I know nothing about HD’s Any opinions? Don’t want huge one, something smaller and not with massive front fairing .
If you want to buy a model of bike which was already obsolete 60 years ago ... there are still better options than a Sportster.
I owned a 883 a few years ago, a 2004 first year of the rubber mounted engine and last of the carburettor models. They're a great entry level Harley and not to be overlooked as a purchase. It really depends what your budget is doesn't it? I'm not much of a fan of the post 04 models as I prefer the simplicity of the carb. They're infinitely personlisable with there being a vast supply of aftermarket parts. Upgrading to a 1200 Sportster is a route a lot of owners take but I didn't ever feel I needed more horsepower. I'm still in touch with the owner of my old one and have asked for first refusal should he decide to sell.
I thought it was Hardly Dangerous; unless you are referring to the brakes, which make a Ducati rear brake appear effective.
