Use what is recommended in your Owner's Manual.
Can't go wrong there.
NOTE:
The above information, while credible, is worth what you paid for it and should not be considered gospel.
Do due diligence, research and have a H-D Field Service Manual before working on your bike.
You will probably have many opinions and suggestions presented; make sure you research the person providing the helpful information as there are some who provide good information that is useful and some who speak out of other orifices with gibberish. You will figure out this quickly.

It does not take much to fill up the average Sportster, go with premium gas. It's the least you can do for your bike. 2-4 gallons maybe cost you less than $1 extra to fill up?
My 1250 needs premium, your 883 perhaps not, but why take the chance on detonation with lower grades of gas?

You can download an owners manual for free at the Harley SIP. Free registration is required but is well worth it, lots of good info there.
