What to know before buying a Harley Davidson iron 883 

This is 100% a beginner's bike and I still have my 883 for 5 years, no plans on getting rid of it. Picked it up for $5k, works fine on the highway for me (I don't do long trips about 3 hours max)

This is what I’m here for bro! I bought my Iron 883 because of you and blockhead from watching you guys. Now I understand why everybody keeps coming back to their sportsters 🔥

I found your channel because I bought an 883 I been a fan since so I'm glad you're back on one from scratch. 🙌

I bought 883 2001. Everyones said don’t buy it because in 3 days you’ll want a bigger bike. Nope! I’m loving my 883. I almost dropped it twice and it’s just light enough I was able to save it. Barely

Just bought this bike yesterday. Your review helped me a lot. Tq bro!

Ive had my sportster for a while now and after 30 years of riding it is still my most fun bike to ride and commute with !! The fact that you can easily make it completely unique and a reflection of your personality during those long winter months too . The possibilities are endless . Love my sporty !!

Have to give you a shout out I’ve been subscribed to your channel for about four months now and I have to be honest you were the one that inspired me to get into the motorcycle game but also you inspired me into getting a sportster for myself and I’m happy with it it’s a great looking bike I wouldn’t give it up for anything I have a 2020 iron 883 barracuda it’s an industrial gray and she’s a beauty

absolutele legit review..... good looking bike. Appreciate the honesty on the freeway riding.

You look cool on it bro, James Deanish.👍🏼 I got the 2018 Breakout for my first bike. That fat rear tire sold me, plus I didn't wanna get a beginner bike just to learn then have to turn around sell it only to upgrade anyway.

Bro some of those potholes look like absolute murder haha I'll be bringing my (new to me) 2017 iron 883 home in a couple of weeks and I'm stoked to hop on and begin making some modifications. Subscribed!

If you ever get a chance pick up an iron 1200. You'll love it even more. Funnest harley out there once its all done up.

I want to get a 2021 883 in deadwood green but I’m afraid that after a few weeks I’m going to regret it and wish I got a bigger bike. I just LOVE the way the 883 looks compared to the 1200.

Love your videos! I’ve been looking into a 1200 but I always go back and forth with the 883 always bouncing back

I’m shopping but I’m liking this one. Big time. Great video too bro

Some V&H radius 2 into 2 would look siiiick on that Thanks 4 the entertainment while taking the bus 2 work ✌🏻

I own a 2016 iron 883 stage one plenty power and plenty fun. It is my daily

I love your video, lots of good info you gave. I am 5'5" and just bought the 2021 Iron 883. I sat on it at the dealership and felt that the mid control was not comfortable (Because ima lil thick below the waist, lol) so i had them put forward controls on for me which is on back order. What's your opinion on someone my height being able to reach the forward controls on the 883?

I saw good ones in a motorcycle shop.. used which I'm going to get, due to the fact it's used and broken down.. I had a bike and braking it down phase was hard for me, I just want to enjoy the bike and ride and explore places..

I’m actually thinking getting one with that new Venon color . Just to drive around town here in jersey . I currently have a softail slim 2016 for long rides which is very comfortable . Nice Channel pa keep up the good work !!!!

Thank you for making this video!

Think the best way to put it for people with no experience looking at this bike is if you have no experience but you have confidence and you are a quick learner then it’s the right bike but if you are a new rider no experience with lack of confidence or a little scared or nervous then it probably is not for you in that case

I recently bought a 883 and it was fully customized as a bobber. Its amazing except the seat and suspension.

Just purchased the 2021 Iron 883 Snake Venom.

Thanks for this video! I’m getting the snake venom color soon 1st Harley after riding sports bikes for 10 years! So excited!

Great review....lost sound a few times around the 8 min and 19 min mark fyi

Hey man, I am new to your channel. I ve been looking for gloves just like yours for a while now. Sorry if you already answered this question but could you share brand and where to buy them? Thanks alot. Well I spoke too soon you say that at the end of the video, thanks 😁

Hey, bike looks awesome and my choice of first big bike here in the UK. I have seen there is a problem with burning pipes on your foot. How is that overcome?

Check out simon customs tank covers for the sporties!

Everyone seems to go back to the sportster eventually 🤘

I like the look ,its wicked,slim and low,,thay are le$$ than 1200s,,and the hammer kit is reliable and easy to do,,,,so i might end up whith the 883,,,if i carnt find a nightst'a,,,,marvel ☘💪

sorry if this was mentioned and I missed it, but how about your oil light staying on? I have 2019 too and I've been having the same issue.

Hey buddy I dig your videos, also I am getting ready to mod my bike as well But my budget isn’t very big. Was wondering if you are gonna sell or give away your passenger sporty pegs.?? Anyway keep doin what your doing man.

Good morning,11am, watching this on the bus on my way to work 😭 Sold my bike couple weeks ago and getting the new one Monday July 12 Since I don't own a car having to take the bus :(

Hi mate, I just got one myself. But As you can see you've never looked at the manual of the bike. You can set a preload on the rear shocks and it will make the ride much more enjoyable. It will not bottom out that easy. I as I can see it from the video, yours are pretty much on stock set up on 2-3 dots. I assuming you are not a 100-120lb, So you might need to change it to 4 or 5 Dots. I tuned mine up to 5 dots on each side and it was day and night. The previous owner had it also on less then 3 dots (probably still stock), and he was about a same 180-190lb like myself. But as soon I sat on it just bottomed out. Lot of people don't really recognise this and they just buy new shock, which is fine and I'm sure they are way better then the stock but you can save yourself some cash by just doing some adjustment. And it might work for you. You were spot on with your review, I bough it for the city and short trips. Perfect for that. I have a Stage 1 V&H on it and a few other mods. Love it and definitely will keep it for a few yeas.

My bike stock awesome video

why is the engine warning light "on" constantly? Because of your modifications?

I am planning on getting one. Just one question: Coming from a Hayabusa do you think the Harley can still put a smile on my face? I am going to keep the Hayabusa, but it is a stressy bike to ride, as you are always too fast. So I´d take the Harley out on our country roads and cruise around. What do you say? Greetings from Austria. Chris

Just bought a 2022 iron 883 for 15,000 brand new is that a good deal? Feel like I paid to much since I heard you say you paid less for yours but I absolutely love it.

I have one 2017(Olive) iron883. 😊

Yeah I agree, after 4-5 hours of riding, my ass hurts on the stock seat.

Wow, that suspension is brutal.

Sportster S?

Why has the price jumped so high for the 2022 model? Is there any difference’s between 2020-2022?

what was that red light around the 14:40 mark?

What do you recommend I get for a nice deep solid sound since I hate the stock sound?

Have you Dial in you suspension yet?

what are those gloves youre using?

8:14 You interrupt yourself, cut to a long interlude, come back with no voice audio, then suddenly resume in the middle of a different sentence. How was this missed in editing? edit : and 19:11

All u need to know is the only people who don't sell their Harley for a different brand within a few years are people who don't ride em.

🖤

The seat sucks but after you replace it the rest of the bike is a great reliable daily driver you can go anywhere on.

I see two lights burning and I get nervous............1 was gas, what was the other?

Would this be a good bike for a first time rider? Also, I'm just 5'7 tall and I plan to take the bike riding course before purchasing my first bike.

French 883 Rider...is that a French Flag in your Garage ?....by the way the 883 on small europeans roads is just perfect...

im not worried about the lean angle...im afraid to lean anyways.......LOL

Lots of lights on. Don't blow it up

Bar hopping?? The Cops ears just perked up.

Harley dixcontinued it as they only want to sell high-end now.

Shit, I already put 29k miles on my iron though. I love to ride the fuck out of my bike lol.

#justbuyadyna

They’re called that because after a year you’ll just have a pile of rusted iron

If you don’t have any experience riding a motorcycle in your entire life, this is not a beginner’s bike. I think only those people especially mens, with big egos would say that. When you say a beginners bike it should not be greater than a 250cc.This bike is pretty heavy and expensive to own.

"What to know before buying an Iron 883" "Get a 1200 instead."

Yeah, the advice is don’t buy it
