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

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 own a 1998 sportster 1200 custom , had 4 miles on it when I got it , it now has 94,450 miles and still running strong with no engine work. No oil leaks , no oil on my garage floor , its been a great bike. On long rides it avg 55mpg and doesn't burn any oil . I have changed the oil and cleaned the air cleaner every 2500 miles .

I suggest you find Ryan Fortnine on youtube. That guy is the penultimate reviewer of things. This review is a case in point: It feels like they have a very cozy relationship to Harley, and it feels like RevZilla is in the business of selling all these aftermarket components, so at the end of the day I feel like I watched an advertisement, not a review.

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.

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

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.

I have an 07 1200 XL Custom. It is the perfect bike for me. I have been riding since the late 80's and a steady riding for the last decade now. I can honestly say the Sportster is the only bike I have owned that fills all of my bike needs. Yes, mine drips a little bit a oil as well, and the engine is noisy and hot. Doesn't matter, I still love it.

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 own a 2010 HD Sportster 883 Iron. To fit my needs, I had the HD Shop replace the stock handlebars with 14" Apehangers, which are very comfortable, not too tall. Then, I had the foot pegs and grips replaced with Kyankin (spelled?) pieces. Also, I had the foot mid-controls replaced with forward-controls. Everything else is still original, even the exhaust system. However, at 60 years old, it is plenty fast and loud, for this old man.

I took the Scout 60 over the 883. 999cc, better handling, forward controls, liquid cooled, and plenty of get-up-and-go even at highway speeds.Added mini-ape bars and passenger seat and pegs from the factory.Aftermarket mufflers, tune, and saddlebags.Only complaint would be that I could use a little more room on longer rides, but that's also what bigger bikes are for. It's a perfect commuter and weekend tripper.

When Harley build a bike that doesn't need to have money spent on it right away, then I'll consider one.

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!!

+Cowboy Garcia I hope mine don't leak either. I just bought a 2016 Iron 883 on 3/26/16 but waiting for it to come in it's on order with some upgrades! I'm going nuts waiting for it. It's my first bike!

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.

I've always loved the Sportster but have never owned one. I've had Heritages and now a Tri Glide. If I were to buy a Sportster I would add a fly screen, Touring seat (for two) the passenger peg mounts, and pegs, A pair of longer (probably 1 1/2 inch longer rear shocks (Progressive) tp improve the ride, sissy bar, passenger back rest pad, luggage rack, and some sort of top truck or tour bag to carry our rain suits, heavy shirts ect.ect. The top truck on the Tri Glide has spoiled me and I no longer want saddle bags. Besides, saddlebags makes it hard to clean the rear wheel. Ride safe and enjoy every journey.

Lemmy is the man! My son convinced me to to trade in my 2018 Moto Guzzi V7 III Special and get a Sportster 883. It fits me much better. I love it.

I am as green as they come. Never had a bike, Never rode one but I am drooling for one. I am torn between the Iron and the Forty Eight. Would either of these be a good bike for a rookie?

Please consider a Triumph Street Twin instead or any number of great metric motorcycles. You get more for your money from the other brands and you won't need to swap out half the parts for better ones.

From an ex iron owner, I'd say go with the Scout 60, unless you're just in love with what a Sportster is. Just a personal suggestion.

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.

I owned a 2009 Iron for about 3 years. I did love the bike, but the quality was really lacking. Had an issue with the starter, had to have the low fuel sensor replaced quite a few times, and the paint on the tank came off. Otherwise it was a really good bike. Now, I think I'd take the Scout over the Iron. Got to demo the Scout 60, and it was one of the best bikes I've driven. I love the style, and think I could do some really cool stuff to it.

Although I'm not a fan of having to add parts to make a bike legitimately better, I can certainly appreciate Lemmy for his enthusiastic and fun reviews. Perhaps Victor could've helped you find the parts, and Doc Mitchell to fix you up, since you were in Goodsprings after all...
