Love it. Enjoy and ride safe. I like seeing a rider that's not afraid to wear a helmet.

Great bike.

If you are talking about vibes form the road...yes, the suspension is limited and only remedied with $$$ for something better - like Ohlins...

If you are talking about engine vibes at high speed...my understanding is the 883 is geared pretty low so you get nice low end power delivery which means higher rpms with faster speeds. Those higher rpms could be giving you the vibes. . If it is bothering you, you could raise the gear ratio with a taller gear (the one from the 1200) although you'll lose some of the snappy response.

Make sure you get the quiet baffles. It makes the pipes much deeper, and gives back some power. The pipes will make the bike vibrate more than it does already.
