Welcome To HarleyDavidson Accessories Guide blog.
It is hard to choose from among a
dizzying variety of motorcycles available in the market today. Although you
have already done your browsing in various bike dealers and websites, I know
you secretly want a ......
Harley.
I don’t blame you…..
Harley Sporsters bike series is the
biggest selling and long running model of all Harley Davidson motorcycles. Some
people say Sportsters are the meat and potatoes of the Harley Motor Company.
Statistics proved that out of ten Harley motorcycles sold, three are Harley
Sportsters. And seventy percent are sold
to first time Hd buyers
The Harley Davidson 883 is basically a good bike to own. It is not so
heavy compared with the bigger v-twins. It handles and steers quickly and
nimbly. If you want you can add jugs and piston and make it into 1200 giving
your sportster 883 more horsepower approximately 12 to 15. Thus creating more
torque power than a stock Sportster 1200.
Buy VH pipes and air cleaner. Also
intstall HD Screaming eagle super tuner
which allows future upgrades without additional shelling out of cash. Also just
tuning it will make the bike performed optimally. And one other benefit of the converted Harley Sportster 883 into 1200
is that, it is faster and has more power than a stock Harley Sportster 1200. And
it costs a littler cheaper than a Spotrster 1200 fresh out of the box.
Harley bike technology have made
giant leaps in speed, power and performance since 2004.
Most folks would suggest to buy 250 cc class cruisers of the metric kind as
beginner’s bikes as opposed to Sportsters 883. But really Sportsters 883 make
good starter bikes. It is manageable. And it can run to about 70 mph steady in
the freeway. Just browse in your local HD Dealers and sit on a few or even rent
one for a day or two just to check if it is really the ride you want. See to it
if the riding position is comfortable. If it feels too constricting you can
always customize by adding or adjusting forward controls and handlebars.
Even though metric bikes are as powerful as Harley Bikes or even faster
, they don’t have that stylish looks, the sound (they have patent on it) and
the feel of the Harley brand. The
enormous inventory of the aftermarket parts and accessories make the Harley
company just perfectly suited for cruisers who wants to customize their lean
machines. It is also a part of the Harley experience to thumb through the HD
accessory catalogue.
Unlike
the Japanese counterparts, their accessories and aftermarket parts are limited.
Some even say after a few hundred miles
and years on these plastic horses, they are sent out to pasture called the
Junkyard.
Harley Davidson sportsters 883 are good
starter bikes. The bikes are easier to
maintain. Maybe just a few oil changes here and there. The newer Harley
sportster 883 are more reliable than ever. Especially if you buy the model year 2007 and up. Mods require
programming of the ECM. That is why some prefer the carburetor.
Sportsters 883 may not be as fast as
other metric imports but they have stylish looks, unqiue sound and feel of an
extraordinary bike. The bike is easy to handle, easy to steer especially in
cornering.
If you
like to ride but have physical limitations like chronic joint pains particularly in the wrists where you make
heavy clutches and throttles which makes it a pain to handle for a certain
duration, the sportster 883 is quite a revelation because the clutches and
brake levers are soft and light.
And some say, they come with a high price
tag as well as their aftermarket accessories. Well duh, as if their Asian counterparts aren’t.
Overall Harley
Davidson 883 is a great bike.
A bad-ass bike.
Don’t let anyone deprived you of your
wishes to ride one and discourage you that it is a girls bike, they handle
stiff, makes weird sound. That’s not true at all. All things mechanical breaks down once in
awhile just like tractors, cars etc. Some people take their sporties to and
from work everyday and has ridden over 100,000 miles on it but all they do is
change oil every 2,500 miles.
The Harley Sportster 883 is the cheapest, least powerful, lightest
,smallest one of the HD family. That is
maybe the reason why some call it a chick’s bike but we do see women ride
bigger Harleys like softails, dynas etc. Sportster 883 is a Harley alright.
Although some likes to pick on the smallest-the underdog. Still it’s a
Harley-American made.
