What would you choose and why…a Harley Davidson Sportster 883, or a Yamaha V-Star Custom Motorcycle?
2007 HD Sportster 883 MSRP $6595, 883 cc
2007 Yamaha V-Star Custom MSRP $5799 649 cc
the 883 can be a vicious speedster to those that seriously mod them out, they hold they’re value pretty good. the 07′s dont have any carb’s. every bike hd makes is now fuel injection. injected bikes warm up quicker than the carbs, but to set the mix, that has to be done on a computer.
it would be a good idea to actually sit on both bikes, and if possible, test ride both. if u have the endorsement, u’d be able to test ride, but i can guarentee u that if u dont have 1, no joy on test rides.
883′s are a lightweight. the 1200 would give u more power and a bit smoother ride. it used to be u could convert a 883 to a 1200 with little difficulty, but since they’ve changed out the motor to rubber mount, those days are history. 3.3 gallon tanks hurt range a bit, but the v-star also has 2 carbs. holds more gas, but the twin carbs is gonna hurt gas mileage. u’d have a better bike getting the 1200. they ride well as long as u put on a sundowner seat. junk that stock seat before u even pick it up, or u’ll go numb within 75-80 miles…..well before the 150 mile cut-off to hit reserve and btw….there is NO reserve on the fuel injected bikes. when ur out, u’ll be pushin.
