		Just bought a 2004 883 XL custom used. Took my first ride the other day. What fun. Great sound with the screaming eagle exhaust slip ons. Would definitely buy it again if I had to do it over. It will provide me a lot of room to grow is a great first bike for me.

		I bought my 2004 883c in late 2007.Right away I knewe I had made the right choice. Easy to drive, it keeps up with the bigger bikes but takes less gas at fill ups. Great for intown and not bad on highways. Its looks bring many admirers even other Sportys! I had a guy pull up beside me on his 1200 BM<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">W and looking at MY bike said &quot;now that is a good looking bike!&quot; What more could I say?</span>
