In this video one of my good friends lets me take out is BRAND NEW 2020 Harley Davidson Iron 883 Sportster for a test ride. I loved the bike, but it would not be for me. I think this bike is best suited for new/beginner riders and/or riders that just want a cool looking bike to commute on in and around town. It does not have the power I typically look for in a motorcycle. I'd be very interested in riding the 1200cc variant of the Sportster.

[@thomasbarnardjr9657]

I've been riding over 20 years, and I would never recommend the Sportster as a starter bike. It's a great bike, and like you said, it's a great bike to grow into. But it's one of the heaviest bikes in its class, and it's top heavy at that. It's not that powerful, but it has enough torque to get you in trouble. The Sportster is the best building platform in motorcycles. This bike is still more than enough to get you in trouble if you don't have any experience riding. It's a great bike to get more experience on, and build confidence, but it's still not the ideal bike for riders with no previous experience. I currently own 2 Sportsers, and I love them both, so I can speak to this. Honda's 600 shadow, or Yamaha's 650 v-star are much better first ride bikes. The Sportster is a great bike for the riders who are more about the ride than going super fast. But keep in mind, like any bike, these bikes can be made to go extreme fast. My 88 sporty is on a Pauchgo rigid frame, and has a 883 Harley to Buell xb9 1200cc conversion on it with a lot of engine upgrades, and it will scream. Start in the 600 cc range, get more comfortable and confident, and then step up to the Sportster, or another bike of your choice. There's never any shame in starting small, and moving up through several different bikes to find what you want. Any ride can get you into trouble, so at least minimize the risk with a bike that's suitable for your experience levels. Stay safe and enjoy the ride.

[@FastLaneD]

Couldnt have said it any better myself Thomas! Thanks for dropping some knowledge bro! And thanks for watching 🤘🏾 #FastLaneGang 🏁

[@milmex317th]

Very well said.

[@zxcvbnmaw1]

Sportster 1200 was my first bike. Loved every minute of it. I never felt that it was too much power for me. I guess it probably depends on the person

[@brayden4940]

If I have motocross experience but no cruiser experience would a sportster 883 be a good first cruiser? I know motocross and street riding are completely different but I’m just saying I understand how controls on a bike work.

[@thomasbarnardjr9657]

@Brayden have you rode a street bike of any kind? I would recommend a Yamaha vstar 650, Honda Shadow, or something similar first, but if you have even some basic experience, the Sportster can be ok. But keep in mind, though it's not fast, the bike does have some pretty good torque, and it can get you in trouble really quickly if you're not careful. It's also a bike that is top heavy... and you really feel it at low speed. No matter what bike you choose, take the msf safety class, and practice in empty parking lots to build your skills. MC Rider has some really great videos on safety tips, good road strategy, escape routes, proper braking etc. I hope this helps. Stay safe, and enjoy the ride.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Excellent review of the lil Iron 883. I recently bought a 2018 Iron and I’m loving it as a fourth bike in the garage. Find myself picking it for day to day riding. Commuting, running small errands, just goofing off... Your drone and music work are awesome, keep up the good work!

[@FastLaneD]

Fourth?!? 😳 I need to catch up! Haha I can definitely see the iron 883 coming in handy for those things...it's a sweet looking and sounding bike! Thank you for watching 🤘🏾 I appreciate it!

I love my 2009 883 Sportster Custom. It has Vance and Hines slip ons, forward controls with mini floorboards and a HD Sundowner 2 up seat. It will surprise you with how comfortable it is. I put a taller pulley on the front of the belt drive, so it cruises very comfortable at 68mph, 68 is what 62 used to be. It is one sweet ride and it sounds like the bomb, I constantly get thumbs up and compliments on it. Harley will regret killing that model. Luckily they are still readily available on the used market at killer prices. I can see the day when any classic sportster in decent condition will bring in the big bucks... I say we are about 5 years from that. Grab one now on the cheap. You can find 883's in new condition with less than 5k miles for about $3,000. Best motorcycle deal in the universe.

[@jamessouthworth1699]

I think we're these Sportsters really shine is in long-term ownership. How long they last and out easy to rebuild they are. Now if somebody's always chasing the most exciting bike and doesn't mind Trading in their motorcycle every few years to get the next most exciting thing then this bike probably isn't for you.

[@jamessouthworth1699]

I toured over 20 States on an 883 Sportster and it was fine. Of course I had to upgrade to a touring seat and put used Road King shocks on the back as well as a big windshield and forward controls.

[@theAverageAmericanTroy]

I can’t decide if your bashing it or if you’re being genuine

[@jamessouthworth1699]

@@theAverageAmericanTroy I'm being totally genuine. Those are the parts I actually put on the bike. On one of my trips I did just under a thousand miles in a day going from New Orleans to Miami. That was a little extreme but when I kept it around 400 to 500 miles in a day that was much better. For windshield I used the national cycle plexifairing because it was detachable for when I wasn't on a long trip and it offered the most coverage for when I was. I also had detachable saddlebags with ghost brackets. On one trip from Philadelphia to Texas I towed a small trailer behind it. I wish I could post pictures on this comment.

[@emonsmorris8833]

The throttle on the 2019+ iron 883's getting stuck seems to be a manufacturing issue. I have a '19 and I ended up crashing in a sharp corner 3 hours after leaving the harley dealership; because the throttle stuck open halfway through the clutch release coming out of the corner. The back tire came out from under me as a result of the stuck throttle, high rpm clutch engagement and lean angle. Adrenaline kept me moving to run over and pick it up probably 200 feet away from where I landed and rode that tough SOB home; got some mean road rash, a fractured wrist, and thankfully my backpack kept my head with no helmet on, off the road. Took it up to the same harley dealership where I got it and they said "we'll fix the throttle", but everything else that is supposed to be covered under new vehicle warranty which got damaged(including the bent forks, dent in the tank, and bent bars) are up to my own dime and insurance to fix. Super shitty customer service and rider protection, so whoever reads this and wants a new iron 883, check the throttle before moving an inch on that thing or you run the possibility of getting screwed out of a couple grand or more on top of the thousands you just signed for and that money doesn't even get to go to the upgrades.

[@GFunkEra1992]

wow that's pretty bad man, that should be covered by them if it is a know issue. Also don't ride without gear man, gear is your protection and can make a difference between life and death. hope you are well and ride safe.

[@crazycomments8038]

I just was at a Harley Davidson event today Never rode a motorcycle but I look at it this way, I control the speed and if I fk up with going to fast it is all on me. I am at the age that I can control it!

[@billhedrick17]

Just don't buy a Harley at all. Problem solved. The only appeal to them is the "American Badass" vibe and to be honest it's outdated, and extremely overpriced for an underbuilt bike. Not to mention the whole land pirate, trucker on two wheels lifestyle. They all have issues and rattle themselves apart. But, like Jeep guys. It seems Harley guys enjoy when their expensive new things are broken.

[@20P4U]

Your first mistake was no having a helmet bozo

[@prowlman]

@ bill hedrick You obviously have zero idea of what the harleys have been since the mid 90's. It's like everyone on a crotch rocket and leather is a semi pro bike rider, not a doosh that shouldn't even have a license. Stick with your vespa or cheap cruiser that you can't give away in 4 years. You are just spewing the same tired garbage from people that still think harley is still owned by AMF.

[@Brandon-of1xl]

Having never ridden a bike ever in life, I’m sold.

[@araw540]

[@jhitchman1]

Bro I figured out what makes your videos really good and that’s the fact you don’t say um or stop talking. Your delivery is truly like you are living into the vlog. Love the music and intro. Your review was great, that bike is very similar to my Suzuki S50 Boulevard except it looks way more modern and sporty with the blackout look while my boulevard has more of a classic look. I agree with you in that I think I’m going to upgrade at some point so let me know if you ever want to sell that v rod! You might want to see if Harley will let you do a test drive on a fat boy and a fat bob. They seem similar to the v rod. By the way now I noticed the Fat Boy Arnold was riding in Terminator 2. Keep up the great vids man...

There's a little tension adjuster under the throttle, can flick it with either your index or thumb. Loosen it up, and it won't get stuck anymore.

I bought that 20' Black Denim back in mid-March brand new had 8 miles on it when they dropped it at my house. It's my 1st bike, so I don't know what it's like to be on a bigger bike. It could probably use a little more oomph.I currently have around 6500 miles on it as we speak. I changed the pipes back in late April, and I'm in the process of getting the stage 1 finished. It's been a great bike for my 1st! Might have it converted to a 1250 or 1275 later down the road once my extended warranty expires, if I end up keeping her.

[@Malignantt1]

Stock i would say the power is comparable to a 3-400cc sport bike. Its not slow, i hate when people say that. Plenty of power, and its a vtwin air cooled cruiser. Very nice bike. I’ll probably keep this thing forever. Eventually I may put a 1250 in it, but thatd be way down the road after the 883 gets a lot of miles. 883 is all you need for the street, not too slow and not too fast. It is heavier, but it doesn’t really feel like it imo

I agree .... seeing the Iron makes me wanna ride for the first time but every butt head Harley rider i talk to call it a girls bike. Harley riders are Harley Davidsons worst enemy. They say at least get the 1200 but the 1200 doesnt look like the Iron 883 at all.

[@mushroomcloud1]

@@jeremybrocknblue5593 You are 100% correct. The 883 looks better than the 1200. I have been riding for 45 years. Most people who call the Iron a girls bike are posers who are too stupid to know the history of the Motor Company and the Sporty. Or they haven't been riding long and are just parroting what they have heard like little sheep. The Iron is distilled motorcycle essence. Two wheels and a motor. The assholes who are so soft that they need a dresser so their delicate little bottoms don't hurt are the pussies. Ride what you like and tell everyone else to get fucked.

Reminds me of the '07 1200XLR I sold with that little peanut tank. Loved the looks and the sound. Even on the 1200, I think you'll still find it a bit lacking in the power department. I don't know what power they make now, but my 07 is said to only have had about 58.3hp. Sprinting on the roads was a lot of fun, but the highway was not enjoyable because of the short 5th gear. At 70mph, I want to say it was around 3.5 - 4K which is a lot for that EVO engine and pretty close to the end of it's power band. (Sportster Roadsters have a tach, dual front disc brakes and a taller stance for handling). I'm telling you, your 120hp, 9K redline, with powerband above 6K V-Rod is where it's at IMO. Oh, and the lack of throttle response on your V-Rod is intentional to tame it down a bit with a slipper clutch. You still manage to snake the rear-end though at intersections, lol.

I've never ridden a 1200XLR but I don't think it would enjoy having my 230 lb body on it 🤣. The more I learn about the v-rod muscle the more I love it. That's good to know! I was gonna look into adjusting the throttle sensitivity. She loves to slide in 1st gear! haha thank you for watching 🤘🏾

It’s the best motorcycle Harley makes it’s just needs the 114 in it.

Iron 883 vs Indian Scout 60? Tough decision.

[@dark321100]

im choosing my first bike should i get this ? is this worth it. ? any advice. ?

[@JasonByers77]

I just bought a used 2013 Iron 883 as my first bike. I love it. But I wanted a Harley, so this is perfect for me. Good hunting!!

[@28Mystry]

You don't give a f&%$ bro! I love it haha

[@automandan]

Man it seems like everyone and they're brother are always ragging on the Iron 883. Newsflash people the Iron 883 is a budget Bike. That means it's not going to have all the fancy things the other Harley bikes. In my opinion give the bike a chance and test ride it before y'all bash it.

[@FastLaneD]

As I said in the video, I think the 883 is a phenomenal bike! Especially if you’re a new rider or just looking for something small to commute on. However, if you want something with a lot of power you’ll be disappointed. This bike definitely has its niche place in the market though!

[@crispyclara7617]

I’m around 5’4, do you think I’ll still be able to ride a Harley iron 883 comfortable? I’ve been wanting a cruiser for a while but I don’t know if I’m too short for a bike.

[@Stephennaj]

Yes!! I’m 5’4 also and it fits great.

Wait a minute.. your mate has had that bike for a couple of weeks? You really should have followed HD's engine run in period instructions regarding RPM's. Glad it wasn't my bike 😱

[@christophermetz5789]

I came to the comments to say the same thing. He's pushing that bike hard for as new as it is, I wouldn't have even touched the pipes until the warmup period was done.

[@FastLaneD]

My boy surpassed the 500 mile break in period within the first week of owning that bike...we couldn't get him off of it 🤣🤘🏾

Would this be a good first bike bro?

[@XCVi_MAC]

As in no experience what’s so ever lol.

[@FastLaneD]

Phenomenal first bike! It's light weight, looks great and has enough power to where you won't get bored, but its not overwhelming. Thank you for watching 🤟🏾

[@garrettwilliams7485]

I have no experience either and have been eyeing this as a first bike. You can always drop a 1200, 1250 kit on this and turn it into a little monster down the road.

[@jet0577]

@@XCVi_MAC Ha that's me right now. I'm deciding. Been told to go with the 1200 as well. Decisions

[@jet0577]

@@garrettwilliams7485 So you can upgrade this engine? Is it expensive to do? I had no idea you could.

I'm 6'3 275lb and just ordered this... Some told me I'm too big for it but this is my first bike what do you think?

[@parkersgarage4216]

You should have gotten a 1200 tbh.
