I would agree. I have a Sportster and it's far from a girls bike. I see girls riding all makes of bikes, even Road Kings, does that make it a girls bike too?

@FightTheSystem1492 instead of getting rid of the bike, just upgrade it with the 1200 kit and get new headers, intake, and get it tuned afterwards.

i have a 883R... it's definitly not a girls bike ;) in my eyes the only harley you can ride a winding road without feeling like riding a truck...

@FightTheSystem1492 sounds like you need some new friends ... There is no way its your bike that keeps them from wanting you there maybe its just your lack of skill or not to be a total dick they don't like you hahaha.. I have an Iron 883 and I ride with my fam and friends who have bigger harleys and my buddies who have crotch rockets

You could try growing a dick, if your friends won't let your ride with them ... maybe they just plain dont like you... the 1200 looks like the 883, get some open pipes and noone will know :D

i feel like a woman riding my 883.. but it was all i could afford for my first bike.. my buddies all have softail deuces and 1200 sportsters and they wont even let me ride with them when they go on rides.. im gonna sell that thing after i get better at riding.. cant take feeling like a woman anymore

I think H-D made a mistake by not continuing production of this bike past 2008. As I understand, the 883R is still offered in other major markets around the world, but not here in the USA! That is a disgrace! There's NO reason why a bike manufacturer shouldn't offer entry-level bikes to most sized riders, not just short or bantam-sized. I say let H-D bring back the 883R to the American market and drop the 1200-Low!

Thanks for all the advice. I've had all my steel bits powder coated not to stop em rusting. Should last a while now. Don't know why HD don't do it properly in the first place tho.
