Although Harley Davidson has been making Sportster motorcycles since 1957, the Harley 883 version was not actually introduced to the market until 1986. Today if you are looking for a Harley Davidson that is not going to break the bank then definitely the 883 may be the Harley for you.

Today there are eight different models of the Sportster Harley Davidson available along with the four versions of the 883 there are three versions of the 1200 and of course the XL50. The XL 50 was introduced to the market as a celebration of Harley Davidson producing the Sportster for 50 years.

Certainly the 883 Sportster is one of the most well recognized of all the custom motorcycles that people can purchase around the world today and below we take a look at the 4 models that Harley Davidson have to offer.

1. XL Sportster 833 - which is the least expensive of all these models available and will cost between $6,595 and $7,990. 2. XL Sportster 833 Low - this bike although is slightly more expensive than the original version will only cost you between $6,995 and $8,390. 3. XL Sportster 883 Custom - another really great looking version of this model and will only cost between $7,795 and $9,555. 4. XL Sportster 883R - This is the final version of this particular model of Harley Davidson motorcycle now available and will cost you anything from $7,795 and up to as much as $9,090.

However as well as Harley Davidson bringing out a number of different 883 models they have also spent time improving the way it feels when you ride it. Along with an enlarged rear axle which has improved these bikes stability, this motorcycle company has made improvements to the frame. Now all the engines are mounted on to rubber rather than directly on to the frame and this has helped to reduce the amount of vibration that the engine causes.

As well as the changes made to the 883 Harley mentioned above Harley Davidson have made several notable changes not just to these models but all of their motorcycles. Gone is the chain drive system for spinning the rear wheel and has been replaced with a belt drive system. Also they have now put a helical cut gear transmission unit in all their bikes, which results in less gear whine noises being made by them. Whilst the other change to be made and which occurred this year is that the engines are now fuel injected rather than being carburetted.

So if you are looking for a Harley Davidson motorcycle that isn’t going to break the bank but will still offer you the same ride quality and prestige that the other Harley Davidson motorcycles have to offer. Then it is about time you seriously considered getting yourself a Harley 883.

For those of you who want to feel the wind rushing past your face as you smoothly glide along the roads in a position that has become famous around the world then why not seriously consider getting yourself a Harley 883.
