This motorcycle features 883cc V-Twin Engine, Belt Drive, Multi-Function Clock, Keyless Ignition, ABS Brakes, Self Cancelling Indicators, Screaming Eagle Slip-on Exhaust & AlarmSorry haters, but the Harley-Davidson Iron 883 is good for an entry level cruiser motorbike. Those last four words are key. Compared to another entry level middleweight, say a Yamaha MT-07, the Harley looks all kinds of bad (especially if you only refer to the spec sheet).But compared to other entry level cruisers, it’s a no-nonsense, no gimmicks fun machine. It’s also not trying to be a Harley-Davidson, like the Honda CMX500 Rebel or Kawasaki Vulcan 650 for instance, which counts for a lot.It’s a hard thing to explain but the Harley-Davidson Iron 883, like many other Harleys to be honest, has a certain something that makes it more than the sum of its parts. They are without doubt expensive, underpowered and overweight but they’re also really brilliant hunks of metal too.In terms of rider aids, a Sportster 883 Iron is basic – you get twin channel ABS and that’s it. However there’s a lot more going on underneath. Harley-Davidson have long mastered the art of refining the finish on their bikes for a simplistic and classy finish.For a start the ABS runs off the wheel bearings, so there’s no ugly sensor ring bolted to the wheels. Wherever possible, cabling is hidden from view, too. Then there’s a fully-keyless ignition with a fob, that requires one button to turn it on and go. The keyless ignition also includes a movement alarm (with a bloody loud siren) and immobiliser.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). The Iron also has self-cancelling indicators, which are some of the few self-cancellers that actually work as you’d imagine.SpecsEngine size 883ccEngine type Air-cooled Evolution V-twinFrame type Tubular steel cradleFuel capacity 12.5 litresSeat height 760mmBike weight 256kgFront suspension Telescopic forkRear suspension Twin shock, non adjustableFront brake Dual-piston single discRear brake Dual-piston single discFront tyre size 100/90 19Rear tyre size 150/80 16Top speed & performanceMax power 51 bhpMax torque 50.2 ft-lbTank range 135 milesThis bike will receive a CMC 37 point pre-delivery inspection including new oil and oil filter unless recently changed and a 3 month warranty and at least six months MOT.
