Mine is a 883C. I am a Fat Boy. My "Little" scoot will pull my fat **** up to 90mph or so with no problem. If I did it again, I would probably purchase the 1200, but I do not regret my 883. I have 12,000 miles on it in a year. I ride daily in the heat, cold, wind, water, and I love it. IT IS A HARLEY.

 

I'm stickin with the 883L and planning on the conversion. Best of both worlds. But I'm a chick so I don't get razzed.....

 

Got me an 883C; the "C" stands for "coolest bike ever."

 

I buddy has a Hibusa, the fastest bike made hands down.

When he comes over to my place all he does is just star at my 1200c Sportster.

 

good thinkin!

 

i got the 883 c because the low was to short

 

In the morning, I uncover my bike. Put the key in and fire her up. Sounds like I just fired up the bike from hell or thunder from thor. What an awesome feeling!

 

883 or 1200 they look the same. The 883 is plenty big enough, I was looking at a new 883L but got a used 1200R because it had a 2up seat and was a little cheaper.This was in Feb starter with 1400mi now have 6500, not bad since our winter hung on til the end of Apr.

 

Love that 883. She cranks and runs perfectly on 87 octane. She's tall, but so am I. A little too much power, a little too loud,but ithandles wellwith the windshield, bags, wife, and gear on board. Fun bike to ride, fun bike to own. And, just look at QUIG'sbike above--if these bikes looked any betterwe would all be afraid to take themout of the garage.

 

When I started looking for a bigger bike (I'm a scooter geek....just can't really take a scooter long distance) the first thing I looked at Harley wise was a Sportster.....I don't like all the stuff hanging all over the bike that the cruisers have. I put some black leather saddle bag on mine, but hey...it's black leather.... If I wanted a big cruising thingy, I'd get me an Enfield with a sidecar.....might as well be able to carry everything I own if I'm going that route. lol But I'll stick with my Sportster....my girlfriend as actually fallen in love with the military Enfield with the sidecar setup....I think she's serious about getting one.....I've been trying to steer her to a harley, but she wants a sidecar.....hrm.....883C with a sidecar????
