Harley Davidson Sportster Iron 883 Review
www.revzilla.co...
What’s more enticing to a petrol-obsessed Harley wrencher than an opportunity to get their mitts on the new 2016 Harley Sportster Iron 883? Nothing. Nothing at all in this entire world. Well, unless that review gave them an opportunity to get out of the city traffic and onto open roads that wind amongst some of the most stunning desert vistas in the country! Yeah. That would be better. For Lemmy’s Harley Davidson Sportster Iron 883 Review, that is exactly what happened.
As one of the most popular motorcycles in history, the Harley Sportster is an iconic fixture upon the highways of the world. With the introduction of the Iron 883, Harley took the lineup to a stealthy new level and they haven’t looked back since. In this review of the 2016 Harley Davidson Iron 883, Lemmy heads out to Las Vegas to showcase this gallant steel horse in an environment as wide open as the possibilities that come with the Sportster itself.

Hey there! You say great for short inseam riders...what about taller guys?

[@RevZilla]

It can be a bit cramped in stock trim. You'd likely want a taller seat that puts you up and back. If you can, go sit on one at a Harley dealer, so you get a better idea of the ergonomics. -DrewZilla

I suggest you find Ryan Fortnine on youtube. That guy is the penultimate reviewer of things.

[@PostieGeezer]

Basically...it leaks, doesn't corner too good, has noisy push rods (Who still uses push rods?...oh yeh, Harley Davidson does!) has some piston slap going on, needs more power, doesn't stop too well (no problem really because it doesn't go that well either) has only 2 inches of travel on the rear, can't carry a pillion and is fucking uncomfortable. Other than that...it's a great bike!????

[@brothertothefox5146]

Lemmy is literally the coolest dude ever. I love your reviews so much, I decided to buy a Sportster Harley just because of the way you describe the legacy of the line!

[@clydecalamity6520]

I recommend the Roadster. That's the Sportster I would pick if I bought one.

[@brothertothefox5146]

haha you don't have to tell me, I bought it three weeks ago :)

[@nomercy4521]

Too late now, but I would have gone with the Scout 60. - Ex Iron owner.

By sportster, I meant the Roadster... no regrets :D

[@nomercy4521]

Haven't gotten to try out the Roadster. Hope it's a good bike. I loved my 2009 Iron while I had it, but I think I'm going to go with the Indian for my next bike. If I only had the money to buy a new bike. :(

I simply LOVE this review. VERY professionally done. Kept my interest, told me everything I was expecting and more, and the camera work was superb! Subscribed!

[@RevZilla]

+Adrian Rubi Many aftermarket parts for Harleys are made in the USA. For those that aren't, they're usually made in Asia, though some niche items are made in Europe or Canada. -DrewZilla

[@josephbilling6445]

Hey! Great review. I'm real interested in getting a bike. But like you said this bike is good for shorter guys. I'm a big dude about 6'4 6'5 was wondering if this bike would still work fine for me. If not maybe you'd know a better alt for a first bike for me? I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out.

[@RevZilla]

Even with a taller seat, the Sportster might still feel small for someone your height. If you really want a Harley, try sitting on a Dyna. If you're open to other brands, try a Kawasaki Vulcan S. If a Dyna is too expensive or feels too heavy, then I'd stick with a Sportster with a taller seat and forward controls. -DrewZilla

[@josephbilling6445]

I was looking at a wide glide. But I wasn't sure mostly becuase of the price. But I might just go down to a harley dealer and see how they feel. So a taller seat may have to do.

[@ponderingdesertrat6895]

+RevZilla Were the height or angle of the handlebars adjusted at all at the time of this video?

Great reviewer and just what I'm looking for in a review. However, I must be spoilt with Japanese and German bikes over the years because this bike sounds like total rubbish! Oil leaks on a brand new bike??? Crappy shocks, strangled power, poor brakes and an uncomfortable single seat? No thanks. When Harley build a bike that doesn't need to have money spent on it right away, then I'll consider one.

What's there to get? A brand new premium priced 800cc motorcycle shouldn't need tuning or a new suspension right out of the factory.

[@JereCAustin]

Great review Lemmy. I love mine, despite all the haters on here. The only thing I would say is that it appeared as if the rear shocks weren't adjusted for you. Looked like you were on 2 dot. HD would recommend about 12 dot, I have mine on 8 and its so money. I'm 6'0" and 215lbs. the new shocks and seat is why I held out for 2016. Great job, cant wait to see the mods.

[@kombo731]

At 5:19. "You can see that my exhaust pipe and motor mount are covered in motor oil. Unfortunately Harley's aren't known for being the most oil tight bikes around, and that's the case with this new bike as well." WTF?!! This is a NEW motorcycle in the 21st Century. You want me to pay a premium price for a motorcycle that leaks oil and just shrug my shoulders? Uh no. Why would I do that? For freedom? The feeling of the open road? The feeling of a rumbling V-Twin exciting pleasure parts you haven't felt recently? I ain't buying that Kool-Aid. Leaking oil = crap quality. I'm not a stupid modern consumer buying crap quality just because it has a good marketing package. Morons.

[@marcuslarson7842]

Brand new rider here. Started looking at bikes, and the iron 883 immediately caught my eye. Watched this video and it confirms my wants even more.

[@zer0signal0]

+Michael Ogden Agreed. Any newer Harleys that I have heard leaking this badly are (usually, not always) improperly ridden during break in period. The same is said with most other bikes/cars if improperly treated during initial mileage...

[@terryjohn]

For that i call BS

[@johnmadsen37]

zbb2stillalive don’t expect much. This one is a cheap trasher. Best upgrade is a different model or brand. It’s a bad bad purchase so expect people that don’t handle their finances well to be riding these.

You bums! I just bought an Iron 883 for a kick around town, "bar bike". I HATED the OEM handlebars, so I bought a set of Builtwell Chumps from you. They are what I call 'mini-mini-apes' (only an 8 inch rise) the only bars I could find that fit the scale of the little bike. With that done, I thought I was happy with my bike, BUT NOW YOU'RE GONNA GIVE ME MORE IDEAS FOR MODS?!?!?!?! You're just evil!!!! Keep up the good work!

I love your videos. Lots of great information with high production values. That's coming from a guy who has actually shifted gears on an old-time Allis-Chalmers.

[@YEG883]

That looks a lot more like road dirt/muck than motor oil, especially since the same gunk is on the forks. I don't think a brand new 2016 bike is supposed to spew oil.. Even if it is a Harley and "just one of those things you have to live with". Only reason a new Sportster may leak oil is if the level is too high and you're misting out the breathers and then leaking out the airbox. My Iron883 doesn't leak one bit of oil. Besides that, great review! I love my Iron!!

[@hekter13]

Oil leaks? Stopped watching at 5:35. Harleys = Lemons 👎🏼

[@MotorcycleGearHub]

My advice: don't buy a Sportster if all you want is to say you own a "Harley" (lotsa people do this). The Sportster is a magnificent bike that can be customized to anything you want; that's the beauty of it. Buy a Sportster if you're a motorhead and love customizing the bike to your own flavor. Get some AF fuel manager, pipes and taller Progressive shocks (minimum 3 inch travel) and you wake up this mini beast. Trust me.

I still love my 1992 CB750 nighthawk over 2017 Sportster ironically there is little sport in it. Lighter, more powerful, bullet proof reliable, shifts smooth, and you can beat it every day in rain and mud and starts every time. I prefer value over superficial marketing "icon" That's the problem with Harleys they sell "lifestyle" instead of top notch motorcycles.Sadly loads of Americans buy them since they already bought the "lifestyle" I'll say take substance over overvalued sub-par motorcycle.

If there's oil flying around coming outta the bike you got a problem, the only Harley's that leak are really old ones with crappy seals or ones that obviously have a problem my sporty don't leak and its a 2001.

2016 and they still can't figure out how to make the motor as oil tight as a Chinese scooter. 565 lbs and 40 HP. There are motorcycles, and then there are Harleys. Why does American made have to mean second rate? Why does this bike cost so much?

When is the follow up video coming out? Been waiting for 3 weeks for you guys to slap some new forks or big bore kit on this thing. I wanna see what can be done with this platform.

Love these bikes ! But if you wanna go fast and handle nice around the corners (pegs touch easily) I’d recommend looking at other brands. A moto guzzi v7iii is a good option if you wanna be a bit faster and make it around the corners. (Speaking from experience)

I have to say that this video greatly influenced my decision to buy a 2016 sportster. Thanks for the awesome review!!

Each time I notice these guys' vedios are more than 10 minutes, I think I will scroll it forward after some time and not watch it completely.But I end up watching the whole video and come to know the video is finished, after watching the whole 10, 20 minutes video

For the money the Indian Scout is miles ahead of this bike.

Would love to see the same review/long term build with the Kawi KLR650 which is pretty much the Sportster 883 of the adventure world. Great review and awesome production and scenery as always.

I just turned 18 and I'm getting this bike as my first vehicle this summer.
