Iron 883 is the BEST
By Brian(Owner), Apr. 15, 2009
I have to say, I did not like the flat black series of motorcycles to start with. My 17yo son did. He was on a Suzuki C50T 800cc bike and would sit on every bike in the Harley shop. Myself, on a wing for a long time, now on the '09 Ultra, WOW! Well, I decided to surprise him with the Iron 883. ...

By Andy Stacey(Owner), Mar. 11, 2010
