The sporty was good enough for Duane Allman and I'm pretty sure he was WAY cooler than ANY sportster critic. The end...

Had alot of chicks want to ride my '93 Sporty.

Longest running model in motorcycle history . 1952 - 2022 . Name Sportster , 1957.

Ur bike is sick asf

What handle bars and headers are those?

I’ve kept up with plenty of big Harley’s on a sporty and dusted a few it’s only 200 cc less than a dyna and lighter just know how to ride plus they’re way more maneuverable

I'm looking for a first bike especially to learn 883 looks great to start with

Ride my forty-eight all over and get plenty of compliments. Baggers just aren’t for me, love the simplicities in life especially on Harley’s.

I own a few big twins. My daily ride to work bike is a Sporty with the 1275 conversion. 134hp on the engine, but if that's not enough there's another 30 shot of nitrous. Nobody calls it a girl's bike after they have to pay me because I just smoked their busa.

It's a real bike from 70 years ago. It may have fuel injection and abs now, but sportsters suck to ride. Eric Buell did what he could for the frame and engine. You can't fixed out dated crap and thinking. Why would anybody put a beginner on such a piece of hit. It turns like the antique it is. Just like most of the Harley owners. And here come the excuses. There are so much better bikes out there. My wife has a sportster. For the price of a used sportster you can get a new bike that works and drives like a bike made in this century. Personally they are an over priced vibrator and the handling sucks. Not a fan of the gynecological harley seating position either. Harley is so out of touch with the motorcycle market, but there clothing lines are doing great. Saying a sportster is a girl bike. Have they ever rode one? I would rather have my wife on something that actually turns and not having to wait on the harley going grandpa slow around curves. Anything can be modified to become the greatest thing ever. Which is exactly what one must do to have a sportster that does modern motorcycle things like turning.

I don't care what others say, I love my Sportster, but I'd trade it in a new york minute for a slightly older version (2000-2003) or a 45.

Went from Berlin to London and back on a 883 Sporty (25 y old one). Only problem: the plastic air filter housing breaks due to age an backfire. If you don‘t mind the vibration, you can ride any distance on it …

I got my 2017 for 5,500 also

Great video, thanks! I'd like to point out they the stopping evaluation isn't defined at 14 ft... it depends on your speed. You are timed between line A and line B... and the graded stopping distance is based on that time.

Naw if I got a sportster it would be a 1200

bro what kinda jacket is that it’s sick.

My class cost $299, I did the E-course. Took me 5 hours but very informative. June 2nd and 3rd I'm doing the riding course. I MUST PASS, I already bought my bike and a ton of gear 😆 🤣 the only times I got the wrong answer was because I was in a rush.

Which brand of swingarm bag is that???

Ride what you like! I like sportsters and I don’t care. I’ve ripped with all the big twins and have kept up. They are faster but the sporty rips I don’t care what people say!

What exhaust system are you running? Also, weird question.. but what gloves are those?

Which bike jack/lift was used in this video for the install?

Nice work! thanks!

Anyone who hates sportsters because they don’t consider them a real Harley has an inferiority complex. A real bike rider rides because of the love of freedom , not to present an image of themselves as a badass. The sportster is the original “hot rod” of the Harley Davison company, starting in 1957, stripped down, totally customisable. I love my sportster, in heavy traffic nothing better, lightweight, and flickable.

Will be buying 2022 model by this month thanks

MSF Coach here, two things you are saying that will ensure people fail on their BRC skills test. For Eval 3 the speed has to be between 12 and 18 MPH, not 10. 10mph on second attempt will award max points.And you are timed to assess your speed and your standard stopping distance at that speed bracket. At 18mph, we expect you to stop no further than 20 feet to demonstrate good stopping technique. For your speed the standard was 15 feet. For someone coming at 12mph is 8. So saying 15 is the target distance will force ppl over 15mph to slam on their brakes and ppl close to 12 to not worry and get points for overshooting their standard distance.

This looks like the low country, God I miss it.

All the Sportster hate comes from people who don't have a bike of any kind.

Got the street job as my first bike and I’m so glad I did! Put 16k+ miles on it on 1.5 yrs. Having that 6th gear and extra power is worth the price point IMO. I’m about 5’8 and I flat foot the bike easily with my saddlemen step up seat.

The sportster is and was a great bike.If people would look at the past they would see the importance of the bike.The only people that dogs sportster are just uneducated.

2019 Roadster 1200. Nothing bad about mine except the riding position which I am changing.

looks good! do you have a video on the tank lift/wire tuck? I couldn't find!

I’m watching this at my MSF training on break and I’d say I’m doing pretty good so far

baggers are girl bikes. they already have purses preinstalled on them. never forget that.

How many inch are your bars, love it! 🤟🏿😎

I selected the Sportster motorcycle due to its favorable pricing, appealing aesthetics, fuel efficiency, affordable monthly payments, insurance rates, maintenance expenses, and extensive aftermarket support options. In my particular situation, any other option would have been counterproductive.

If you pass do you get your license

awesome bike man! im 5'11 and 250lbs. im still intimidated by the weight of harleys. surely after i take my msf cours, ill be much more confident

Love your seat bro

What kind of exhaust do you have bro?

Just passed mine in Miami Florida. 5 steps so you can too: 1) Don't be a douchebag 2) Don't assume you know it all 3) Ask questions to show you give a damn 4) During assessment, don't put a foot down 5) During assessment, don't drop the bike

I live right down the street from that spot (wont use details) but im about to take my test in 2 weeks. would love an experienced rider to ride with!

The color looks good but I'm superstitious 😊

Where did you get the Willie g gas cap from?

Oh hell yeah! I had my sporty cut down, not me a pro done it, it's my daily runner around my small town and local area and it's just great. All the local riders drool over it and my grand kids think I'm the coolest old (61) fart on the road

A big hypodermic syringe works good to, fit it with a surgical hose, fill the syringe, shoot it from the bottom slowly until the bubbles come out in the fluid res., shut it off. - Lefty ( may have to pump it once) Under the Blood M/M

What seat is that?

Very nice , I’ve had several motorcycles but I’m still drawn to this model…

Thankyou for this great video, I've been looking on market place new Zealand for a black denim iron 883 because I've watched several videos & i love the classic style & i think it would be perfect for my height 5ft 6 & my medium build 😊

Did you buy the slotted or smooth bars? And did you drill the placement holes for the controls or no?

Great video. Hope you still ride. One little tip for you though. Ride on either side of the lanes. The black strip down the middle of the lane is oil from cars and can be slick.. I have been on bikes for over 50 years and still riding.
