Harley-Davidson's profilation of this bike |
There’s no feeling on earth like getting in the saddle of a simple, fun machine and just letting go. Just ask anyone who’s had the pleasure of riding a Sportster® 883. It starts with a narrow, agile XL frame. From the solo seat, over the low-rise bar, you see miles of asphalt playground ahead. |
