Harley-Davidson XLH Sportster 883 reviews

Nice for running about town, decent build quality, a lot of third party upgrades and add-ons available. Decent balance and pickup, very reliable as is basic (a good thing less complexity means less to go wrong). A little small for me at 6’ tall, but shorter friends love it. Show less

Has something like 1,000 miles on it. Was for my wife and she just doesn’t ever ride it and has lost interest in it a while ago. Newer battery, runs perfectly. Just been sitting in the garage and I fire it up every now and again. Basically like new. Show less

I’ve owned my 883 for 23 years. I’ve had other bikes BMW GS, V Strom and a couple of others but I’ve always kept the Sporty. Have ridden it around Australia twice. Taken it on dirt tracks and up rugged mountains. It’s a great bike if you set it up right. Get a comfy seat, longer shocks and some saddlebags. If you’ve got little soft hands and a delicate bottom then well this bike is not for you. The 883 is a way better bike than the 1200 it’s better on fuel and cruises real nice at around 110kmph. Never had any issues. Change the fluids, and replace the battery every 5 years. The sportster is a great bike. Show less

This bike has been a 5-Star for me. Runs great, always starts, quality Harley-Davidson. I have the 100 year anniversary edition. I have custom tailpipes, seat, a couple other things to make it more my style. Show less

I have tried extensively to purchase a petcock valve for my 03 Harley and they keep telling me that the card is declined, it's has a few hundred dollars more than the purchase on it. The money is there but it evidently is not good enough for California Motorcycles. Don't understand why you would not accept Visa. Anyways someone else will 🇺🇲 Show less

Fun and easy to ride. Well balanced just under powered I think. Awesome starter bike. I'd recommend replacing stock shocks and seat. Ride is real rough and you can feel every little bump in the road. The stock exhaust makes it sound like a lawn mower. Kinda sad for a HD. I put some shark road slip ons on mine. Sounds better than my triglide with neighbor hater slip ons.. Show less

This bike has been so much fun to ride! It is fast, easy to control probably because of its "low profile". I love the sound of this bike and has been admired by many people. The color and model were a limited release. I will miss riding this beauty, but my life has changed and no time to ride. I am the original owner, and she has been kept in a garage. Show less

I've had this bike a few years now and I truly love her, she is a great all around bike. You can run to the store to pick up something for dinner, use her as a computer, cruise her to bike night, or just take off for a few days and go ghost. She's like the Swiss Army Knife of motorcycles. And you'll hear "get a real bike" usually from a bagger bro. But let's be honest. How many motorcycle models can claim the honor of being in constant production sense 1957. That says a lot about the loyalty to the Sportster line. I'm not a stone Harley owner, I also own a 73 Honda chopper. So I don't bleed black and orange, but for what I want her to do (witch is pretty much everything) she does it willingly. So don't let the name Sportster discourage you, will be pleasantly surprised. Show less
