I changed the 883 for a 1200 about a year later and then 6 months after that I replaced the 1200 with a 1584 FXDL Low Rider which I still have. The handling of all 3 Harleys is a world away from a Bandit. I also have a Honda CBF1000 and they are like chalk and cheese. The point is they are 2 different animals. The Harley is for taking easy and relaxing (whilst looking cool...naturally!) and the sports bikes are for burning it up a bit. Either way your bound to have fun. Cheers, Steve.
hi steve i have just got a 883 custom.2009 plate .looks xactley the same as yours .same coulour.love it but only took it out a few times .finding it completley diffrent to the last bike i used to have .which was a bandit 600.what is the handling like.did it take you some getting used to.obviousley cant throw it round like a bandit.thing is i only have 3rd party insurrance .bet you havent got it now have you.
Sportsers are great there is no doubt about it. I now have a 2008 Dyna Low Rider which I use every day to go to work (whatever the weather) and I love it....but I will always have a soft spot for my first 883 Sportster!
Nice . I crashed mine 1 month ago... not much happened to it (it landed on me) I broke 5 ribs. cant wait to get back on it in a couple of months.... Keep the shiny side up!
Sorry to hear of your mishap. Not sure of the trade-off benefits between 5 broken ribs over minimal damage to your Sporty, but glad it was no worse for either of you!
