2000 Harley-Davidson XL 883C Sportster Custom Motorcycle reviews

This was my second Harley. First was an Ironhead Sportster...this was a GREAT step up. I bought it used with 2000 miles on it. It was BONE stock. I customized the crap out of it...Bassani pipes, 12" ape bars, and lots of chrome. There is unlimited aftermarket stuff to customize this bike to your heart's content. Best thing...I just sold it (10,000 miles later) for exactly what I paid for it over a year ago. Tell me you can do THAT with a jap cruiser...didn't think so. HIGHLY recommend this bike! Show less

I have had the bike for over a year. I have done a lot of mods/chrome, personalizing it. The aftermarket parts available for Harley's is tremendous. It is a great bike for around town and on the highway(granted long trips, over 4 hours, are tiring). Yes it has a stiff ride, yes it shakes, yes it is loud(especially with the V&H pipes),yes, yes, yes...that is what a Harley is. It does run hard with AC/JET/PIPE upgrade. It handles very good. Plenty of torque. It turns heads, even rice riders. The women love it, maybe it's that annoying(to rice lovers)vibration, maybe it's just because no matter what, Harley's are bad machines. It's a Harley, and I am so glad I bought it. Oh, and if I would decide to sell to get a bigger HD, I won't loose my @#$ on this one. Show less
