    This is my first Harley. Partly because of the low MSRP. It handles well. The seat is just right for me at 25 inches, I am 5'7". I rode a Honda Rebel before this and the size of the 883 is three times stronger than the Rebel. But the upgrade wasn't a shock. Experienced riders will have no problem ...
