The Harley Sportster with the 883 engine really is a chick bike, isn’t it?
I rode one the other day and really couldn’t believe how gutless it truly is. I mean, my Road King is a total slug compared to practically everything on the street today, but the 883 Sportster is like a Schwinn with a moped engine taped in the frame and tassels on the handle bars. I think my leaf blower puts out more than the 45 horsepower these things put out. I truly don’t know how my friends at Harley can, with a straight face, put their name on this product. I guess its a good thing about half of the parts are made overseas.
Never been on an 883.I’ve got an FLSTSC myself,but I do not think Sporties are for chicks.Let’s face it,the center of gravity is too high.Even on the Low models the weight is still up higher than on a Low Rider,Springer or a Street Bob. Any of the aforementioned bikes would be better for a woman. Now,back to the 883.It’s an entry level bike for people to get hooked on motorcycles and Harley Davidson in particular. So get off your high horse and just be glad that people are riding!
