When did the Harley Davidson 883 iron come out?
Where the Iron 883 really comes into its own is five years down the line. This model came out in 2015 and you’d struggle to find a nice one for much less than £5500. Older models hit a price floor of £4000 as long as they’re in good nick.
What kind of engine does a Harley Davidson Sportster 883 have?
The engine in the Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 Iron is both its biggest asset and its biggest weakness. It’s a proper Harley motor, so it’s a 45-degree air-cooled, pushrod operated, V-twin – just like most other Harleys have been since 1912.
What kind of suspension does an Iron 883 have?
There were a few outcomes but the biggest for the Iron 883 was brand new suspension and much better brakes. They’re not labelled up but they’re from proper named brands: the suspension comes from Showa and the brakes are from Brembo. The result is a much-improved ride all round.
Is the fuel gauge on the Sportster 883 iron?
The clocks have speed, digital RPM, gear indicator, two trips plus an odometer and that’s all controlled from a rocker switch on the bars. The only thing its missing is a fuel gauge, which is available as an extra but it’s a stingy omission given the small tank (fuel light comes on around 110 miles).
