Harley 883 Low
By (I am an Owner) on Jul 09, 2009Just purchased an 07' 883 low. Of course it was used with only 469 miles on it. I picked it up for a very reasonable price. I got a brand new Sportster-cheap! The bike is very easy to learn on as it is my very first Harley. The brakes are good, but being new they tend to rub a little. Take off is ... awesome. From 1st to 2nd gear, this bike has some balls. I just love admiring the 883 low. It is read, and looks like an old bobber. Exactly what I wanted.

First Drive of 883 L
By (I am an Enthusiast) on Feb 24, 2009I got a chance to ride a friend's wife's 883 Low-rider in Silver.
This bike had the front engine guards equipped for this model.
One thing I noticed that the bike had plenty of power and a tight throttle, giving it too much power was common for me as I laid the bike down because ... I didn't take the time to practice the friction zone and the bike has low miles so the throttle was not broken in yet. Lucky for me and the bike, the engine guards helped save the both of us from damage at my low speed mis-hap.
The looks of the 883 low make it eye catching as it resembles a bobber. The bars are set high so you get that laid back feeling and the standard controls aren't too cramped for an average height rider 5'-9" - 6'-0". Shifting the 883 L is easy and the clutch is smooth, neutral is a little hard to correctly shift to sometimes and requires some practice, hence the easy shifting.
Overall I found this bike to be a great ride, aside from the mini ape bars which turn your hands in a bit and require getting used to versus straight bars, and the seat can be a little uncomfortable as it seems to be a very hard seat, the bike performed quite well in my opinion. From stopped the bike gets up in speed nicely without lag. This would be a perfect bike for someone looking to learn on a Harley and go for short trips around your local area of 100 miles or less due to the small tank 3.3 gallons.
