I just switched from a r6 to a 48. It is a great bike and if you decide to grab a 48 make sure to get a 12” ape bars, Vance and Hines exhaust, a gel seat to insert inside the original, and different rear shocks. Everything else is amazing I might keep the low front handle bars because the feeling around turns going 60 is truly and amazing feel. I can still lean forward like my r6 and have fun on it picking up some speed. The r6 and my liter bike kept getting stolen and the wife tilde me to get rid of the speed demons so I decided to meet in the middle. And Harley’s sound so nice.
I've got an 883 and its slow as fuck compared to my zx6r 636, but what it lacks in speed it makes up for on the fun factor. It really is fun to cruise around. People get caught up with performance and really its a freakin cruiser. Just cruise. If you want power just get a liter bike and hit the track.
+ProTuner06 You said the magic word: Kids. We were all into more speed when we were younger, and most of us took some good falls in the process. A little maturity goes a long way- I enjoy riding more than ever after almost 50 years of riding.
+zackdoc Im 22 still kinda a kid. I love these bikes. Going slow and getting noticed. Rather than saying "kids", say "depends on the person". Not ranting or anything :)
+ProTuner06 To me it is not about the fastest anything. However, when I press the accelerator on something I want it to take me down the road. I am looking for a good started bike and think that I have decided on the Harley Forty Eight. I have been doing research and they are a little easier to handle, especially with wider tire on front. Plus it will last me a long time because it will probably have enough power to keep me satisfied.
They are respectable quick at 4-5 seconds 0-60. Besides people buy them for cruising and kicking back....not everything is about speed, some people need to grow up.
i used to talk bad about harley, i was a honda yamaha type. These harleys now are incredible. Frames are the best along with everything quality...no more to be said
Sportsters are my favorite Harley davidson I've owned a few and I've also owned a 2016 dyna but tell this day if I had to choose I go with a 1200 sporty with the 1275 hammer kit. Sportsters are my favorite platform to work on as there's endless things you can do to them.
hi there jordan arnold, newbie here, and looking to buy a 1200 hd model 48, and have looked at some mods people have done, but what is this 1275 hammer kit you speak of?, and also what is a stage 4 kit, and can this go on a 1200? thanks curently riding a new 2019 honda rebel 500, my starter bike, but want an hd 1200 48
Got a brandnew 883 this year. Before I rode 883s and 1200s to have some kind of comparison. Of course the 1200 felt more powerful but that didn't mean more fun for the ride. Both bikes feel relatively equal when it comes to cruising and fun. I don't miss the extra power as the 883 performs fine - and neither of those bikes was built for a racetrack.
+Patriot1962 . I agree thats why I have a 1200 Sportster Low. On the dyno it makes 60bhp which is very modest really. There is always the V Rod of course!
I own both an 883 Iron and a Street Glide. Obviously the street glide is a much bigger more powerful and heavier bike and is fantastic for the highway or long cruising journeys on the open road. But my favorite bike to ride is my iron. It's so nimble easy to maneuver. I feel like a kid on a BMX bike
me and my wife just got our temps (im 47, shes 43) and we picked up a 2008 883L to practice riding on because we loved the look and how comfortable it was. to us, it has as much power as we could want (it was hard to hang on when full throttle), and we are extremely happy we chose the 883. the plan was to get that bike and make a decision on getting another based off of our experience with that.. we are thinking we will probably get another 883 or 1200 sportster. people say the 883 isnt a powerful bike, maybe compared to sport bikes or larger cruisers, but it is a powerful bike in its own right.
appv12 idk, the 883s around here go for thousands less than 1200s, and the 1200 cc big bore kit costs like 1100$ so it's not as dumb as you're acting like it is lol
I have my late fathers 07 800 intruder, only done a thousand miles, its nice, its refined, it does everything with a neat little 'click' and is inoffensive. I have had many Harleys, current and favourite is a modified 06. 883 that does everything with a clank, it sets off car alarms and makes small children cry. Hope that helps:)
I have a 2019 Iron 1200 with V&H V02 breather, V&H short shots, and FP3 tune. The bike was fun stock. With the stage 1, it is a completely different bike and runs better and cooler! Now it's fun as hell! Other than aesthetics, I see no reason for the 883. If you have good right wrist control and some common sense, the 1200 is the perfect bike, even for new riders. I know, because I rode both and the Iron 1200 is my first street bike.
Whats the max mph for the 48? I cant find it anywhere im getting either a 2015 forty eight or a 2010 gsxr 600cc in march and i cant decide ive read that the gsxr reaches 160 mph atleast but i cant find anything about the 48's top speed does anyone know it??
i have a 1983 goldwing aspencade. its all digital and a fun 1000 pound relic. top speed 138. quite an acomplishmen. I do not ride at that speed. it feels great at 75 to 85 on the highway and kills my gas mileage. i like sport bikes, i love cruising. a Kawasaki concours is the best of both. i dont think a Harley is what you want. try one, but you will probably sell it considering how you will ride it. have a good one!
the video shows the difference between the 1200 evo and the 883 evo very well - in reality, when you first drive a 883 and than a 1200, it's another world.
I used to own a 2015 forty eight but traded it in for a Softail. I test rode a 2016 883 Iron (my wife is buying one and wanted to know what I thought of it) and would have to say it was probably the most fun Harley I've ridden. The gearing on the 883 is much friendlier than the taller gearing on the 1200. Ok, so it won't cruise as well on the motorway, but who wants to do endless motorway miles on either an Iron or a Forty-Eight? Oh, and the clutch lever is lighter on the 883 - much better for girl hands :)
+JEAS Change the size of the front sprocket/pulley if a belt, you got gears. I read the 883 and 1200 are almost identical if not but for the clutch springs and gearing as you mention, but also read the 883 clutch springs need to be upgraded to a 1250's ability if ever kitted.
+Ro0ster I just picked up a 2016 48, LOVE IT.....V&H Grenades, with Grenades Intake. Fucker Moves....FP3 Tuner right off my iphone...They made great changes for the 48 this year.
That sounds awesome! Glad I'm not alone. The bike is a little small framed for me, but I really don't care. It's badass and holds the spirit of what a bike is IMHO.
My buddy just picked up a 2014 sportster 48... Only downside is a 2.5 gal tank... I have the 2014 sportster custom (xl1200c) with 4.5 gal tank... They're definitely better stick than 883...the 883 has better styling options from factory. I was trading up from my 1983 cb650sc and rode both the 883 and 1200..883 felt about the same as the cb650sc just new and harley sound...
I am thinking about buying a harley 48 now that I have finish paying my ZX6R. I think the 48 is the right size for my weight and body type. If ther was no 48 I would probably go with the Smaller CC harley it really makes no difference. I simply like the sound and look of this bikes
+Patriot1962 Yeah I am the opposite I am 5'9" 160 lbs. I fit perfectly in a harley. I think once I get older and you know heavier I will buy as needed :)
Average solo riding isn’t really that much difference. I’ve been able to keep up with rice rockets on an 883. Naturally they easily out cornered me but always caught up and stayed pretty even.
The Sportster is a high 12 sec. bike with an upgraded exhaust and rejetted carb providing you have a carb. Add a performance cam and you are in the 11s.
Love when guys say their 883s are faster off the line because of the gearing, like no, the 1200 still has a 0-60 of 4 to 4.5 seconds and the 883 is still clode to 6 seconds. Now. 883 gearing in a 1200/1250/1275 is where its at!
After slow as shit 883 iron, fourty eight is completely a new world! For anyone who considering to purchase a sporster i would seriously recommand 48 over 883
Oh yes, have a stock Iron and a Fourty-Eight start at the same place and same time; Depending on the distance, the Iron would easily win for the sheer fact that the tank is bigger. The Fourty-Eight and its peanut tank will be stopping every 60 or so miles (depending on what you have added on) for gas.
Yea man. I love it. I like to just cruise but if I need to kick the speed up I will. With the 1200 cc it has, it don't have to carry a lot of weight like other Harley's. Great bike.
But you haven't passed 78 miles per hour my friend!!! you would have continued to accelerate, in low it obviously does not have the same torque as the 48. I wanna see the 1200 top speed.
No a 1200 kit is basically just a rebuild of the motor with bigger parts. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but a 883 with a 1200 kit would be the exact same as regular 1200 from the factory except the 883 heads have a little less airflow which is fine except a little less power.. You could buy 1200 heads though or get the original 883 heads machined and it would be the same as a factory 1200.
i don't know if this helps, but i found out, if you find an iron 1200 tank with a 3.3gallon capacity, it can replace the 2.1 gallon that comes with the model 48, i found a whole bunch on ebay for about 200-300 depending on used or new, that is what i plan on doing when i buy the hd 48, soon after my divorce and the next couple of months
883 beginner bike my a ss! I've owned all kinds of bikes and they'll bust those big bikes a ss for em and especially in the mountains riding. Those big bikes will get left.
Last time I checked the ZX10R was a sport bike! Don't think this is what the guy is looking for. And going to a Dyna is still a joke. If you want a cruiser that hauls get a V-Rod! The only Harley that really kicks ass! The others look badass, but really just suck!
I have an 2001 sporster 883. Just test rode a 2019 sporster 1200 .... My 2001 883 is actually faster. But in the 3019 defence my sporster is quite built
@@panteraowns2515 well than your 883 isn't faster than a 1200. Your 883 bored to 1200 or 1250/1275 might be faster than a stock 1200 but an 883 is nowhere near a 1200 stock for stock. The way it was worded is that your 883 is faster than a 1200 which it would absolutely not be. I have a 1200 with lots of mods too and there isnt an 883 anywhere near that can touch my 1200. What do you have done to your bike? I'm not knocking it either, I am sure it's an awesome bike as almost all sportys whether 883 or 1200 are, like I said before, it sounded like you were comparing a stock 883 to a stock 1200. I will add another video to my TH-cam in a little bit to show all the upgrades I have done since I picked it up a few months ago. I have a short video of the bike the day I picked it up in October, but it is nothing like that now hahaha if you are anything like me, you have to keep modding the Sporty because : 1. It's fun and easy to mod. 2. They are a blast when modded 3. Even fully built it costs less than a mid range Softail hahaha 4. They fucking rip and work so well when done right! Keep on ripping those miles!
+Gurdit Singh I think both do vmax about 190/195 km/h - but in reality I think, Harley-Driver seldom test the top speed of their bike. Last week I had a test drive on a 48 2016 (with better suspension and beefy fork) - and I was very impressed how strong and nimble the bike was. At low revs it feels definitly stronger than a normal bonny.
And which one reaches that speed first?...what I have researched 2015 bonnie can go 0-100kmph in 4.9-5.2 secs...and the Harley around.5.9-6.0,,,,, However the 2016 bonnie isn't out yet..only spy shots with liquid cooled 1000cc+ displacement engine(acc. to critics) will see then ;-)
They r sooo slow. Well, it’s a cruiser, go get a jet of ur choice n stop looking at these bikes then. Gosh, well makes sense; u always wanna go as fast as possible so when u crash u just dnt suffer.

Looks like a significant difference. Man id be thrilled with either one though.

Mike Fu yup riding this bike has save my life a couple of times speed kills
Totally agree.
this video is more about Tourque.. not speed, which is the number 1 thing to look for
Didn’t realize a comparison video equated to people needing to act mature. Sick logic.

there are differences in sizes in this two bikes? or they are just the "same" bike with different engines? thanks
Lets face it guys...Harley does make the coolest bikes.
Looks like fun. I like them both! 👍🏼💯🏍
whats the hp diffirence between 883 and 1200
How are those adrenaline withdraws hittin you?
Endlich neues Video :)
Davy SXE Jones ist nur ein kleiner Anfang, wird noch mehr in diesem Jahr folgen :)
In what gear?
If you buy a Harley for performance you have chosen the wrong bike. You buy one for everything else that is great about biking.
you are exactly right
+Steve Chapman Just get a Buell Cyclone after 99 model.
+Patriot1962 . I agree thats why I have a 1200 Sportster Low. On the dyno it makes 60bhp which is very modest really. There is always the V Rod of course!
I’m from the future... we wheelie these now
Iron 1200 for cruising.
Yamaha R6 for speed.
That's all I really need
I have a 1990 sportster 1200 upgrade kit , and just bought a 2016 r6 about 1000 miles. !!!
I own both an 883 Iron and a Street Glide. Obviously the street glide is a much bigger more powerful and heavier bike and is fantastic for the highway or long cruising journeys on the open road. But my favorite bike to ride is my iron. It's so nimble easy to maneuver. I feel like a kid on a BMX bike
I had an '04 1200 Sporty up 'til last year....it was pretty quick.
and thats why i put a nhrs 1250 kit on my 883. that and new air intake and pipes fun as hell. and plenty dang fast.

Shame the Forty Eight had to stop for fuel after this drag. I'll take the 883 and bore it out to 1200 any day.
if you do the Stage One(airbox,exhaust and fuel remapping) might not have to
Or get the 48 and add a iron 883 gas tank on that thing
you would bore out an 883 before you would get a bigger tank for the 48???? Come on man, you cant be that dumb.
appv12 idk, the 883s around here go for thousands less than 1200s, and the 1200 cc big bore kit costs like 1100$ so it's not as dumb as you're acting like it is lol
Michael Hutson i can attest to that it really wakes it up and with the money you spend on it the engine upgrade is almost pointless
How would a 1998 suzuki intruder 800 compare to an 883 or 1200 sporty
I have my late fathers 07 800 intruder, only done a thousand miles, its nice, its refined, it does everything with a neat little 'click' and is inoffensive. I have had many Harleys, current and favourite is a modified 06. 883 that does everything with a clank, it sets off car alarms and makes small children cry. Hope that helps:)
Hammer !
What about harly 48?
I have a 2019 Iron 1200 with V&H V02 breather, V&H short shots, and FP3 tune.
The bike was fun stock. With the stage 1, it is a completely different bike and runs better and cooler!
Now it's fun as hell!
Other than aesthetics, I see no reason for the 883. If you have good right wrist control and some common sense, the 1200 is the perfect bike, even for new riders. I know, because I rode both and the Iron 1200 is my first street bike.
The 883 looks meaner imo . Especially with the industrial gray paint job. Not the denim . Was the reason for my choice .
I bought an 883 to start off on then did the conversion kit to 1200 with the ecm flash once I got comfortable.
883 is my dream. Very nice bike
News Flash: If a Harley does not do your required triple dipple cartwheels in 2.2 seconds don't buy one....real simple.
Whats the max mph for the 48? I cant find it anywhere im getting either a 2015 forty eight or a 2010 gsxr 600cc in march and i cant decide ive read that the gsxr reaches 160 mph atleast but i cant find anything about the 48's top speed does anyone know it??

I thought my 2000 GS was slow, something wrong with it - now I see that it's an R1 compared to those. Thanks, I feel much better now!
Armand5000 SYM makes engines for bmw
You know there’s a reason some bikes are called cruisers and others are called sport bikes.....
What’s PS mean?
Don't they both weigh the same? I know they use the same bottom end with different jugs. You'd might as well get the more powerful one, no?
the video shows the difference between the 1200 evo and the 883 evo very well - in reality, when you first drive a 883 and than a 1200, it's another world.

***** Thank you for your time, have a good day
Just done a 2K journey with a 48 , max speed 115miles per hour ( and gets really unstable). Tank reach 90 miles. Not a prob in anyway
Love my 48. Its not fast, but it’s super easy torque makes it great in traffic, without looking like some boy racer wannabe.
Good thing you didn't do it for Pink Slips. I mean seriously, was there really a need to compare an 883 to a 1200? No brainer...
+bigdogbuc Actually, I'm wondering between the two, and having the difference in acceleration put there is helpful.
+Still-A-Citizen 2 Iron 883 with a 1200 conversion kit is about 20 HP more than the forty eight.
I used to own a 2015 forty eight but traded it in for a Softail. I test rode a 2016 883 Iron (my wife is buying one and wanted to know what I thought of it) and would have to say it was probably the most fun Harley I've ridden.

I read the 883 and 1200 are almost identical if not but for the clutch springs and gearing as you mention, but also read the 883 clutch springs need to be upgraded to a 1250's ability if ever kitted.
Just wow
Wow. Those extra cc make a difference.

Not the way to do this folks. Take the 883 and put a 1200 jug kit on it with the Screaming Eagle Stage III package. We have lift off!
Yup
Nice wind
I think my little CM400 could take them on. But gotta love that vtwin sound.
I can tell you from experience the 400s would lose lol
The Sportster is a high 12 sec. bike with an upgraded exhaust and rejetted carb providing you have a carb. Add a performance cam and you are in the 11s.
top speed on the 883?
110 mph if your lucky!

Love when guys say their 883s are faster off the line because of the gearing, like no, the 1200 still has a 0-60 of 4 to 4.5 seconds and the 883 is still clode to 6 seconds. Now. 883 gearing in a 1200/1250/1275 is where its at!
i got an 883, and i was wondering why I see people talking about its gearing. whats it all about?
After slow as shit 883 iron, fourty eight is completely a new world! For anyone who considering to purchase a sporster i would seriously recommand 48 over 883
Best undisclosed location evaaar...NOT! =D I guess this was the trip to "Spinnerbrücke" right =)
La XL1200X o 48 no es muy rapida pero corre... por peso y capacidad de freno... no recomendaria su conduccion deportiva
Choose the Vrod for the performance
grat vidéo.....
I think I will buy 48
Finally who wins???
Oh yes, have a stock Iron and a Fourty-Eight start at the same place and same time; Depending on the distance, the Iron would easily win for the sheer fact that the tank is bigger.
The Fourty-Eight and its peanut tank will be stopping every 60 or so miles (depending on what you have added on) for gas.
Cynical Sir really?? Thats a problem. I mean im cool with stopping for gas more often in a bike. But every 60 miles is a bit much.
Nick Hahn my 1200 custom with the 4.5 tank can get about 150 miles a tank if I'm easy on it
yep. according to official mpg and fuel capacity, it has about 100 mile range.
My friend Kim is gonna learn on an 883 then put a hammer 1200 kit in it
Wow those things are slow but they look great
Doesn't look like they were really pishing them
They wasn't pushing it. I have the 48 and it has speed when u want it to.
Ice48
Oh ok i gotta ride on one day
Yea man. I love it. I like to just cruise but if I need to kick the speed up I will. With the 1200 cc it has, it don't have to carry a lot of weight like other Harley's. Great bike.

Any idea what hp thats putting out
My wife loves her 883. If that was my bike I wouldn't ride motorcycles.... 45 hp is not fun.
But you haven't passed 78 miles per hour my friend!!! you would have continued to accelerate, in low it obviously does not have the same torque as the 48. I wanna see the 1200 top speed.
Buy the 1200 conversion kit for the 883.
It costs 900 dollars through Harley, and won't void your warranty.
You won't have as good of heads though but still worth it.
will incraseing the hp of the 883 damage the engine? or lower its life time?
No a 1200 kit is basically just a rebuild of the motor with bigger parts. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but a 883 with a 1200 kit would be the exact same as regular 1200 from the factory except the 883 heads have a little less airflow which is fine except a little less power.. You could buy 1200 heads though or get the original 883 heads machined and it would be the same as a factory 1200.
If your talking about just upgrading the 883 you'd be better off converting to a 1200 first then modifying that if you still want more power.
If they just offered an identical peanut tank that holds 3.3 gallons, it’d be perfect..as an option of course $$..
i don't know if this helps, but i found out, if you find an iron 1200 tank with a 3.3gallon capacity, it can replace the 2.1 gallon that comes with the model 48, i found a whole bunch on ebay for about 200-300 depending on used or new, that is what i plan on doing when i buy the hd 48, soon after my divorce and the next couple of months
Go 883! Lol fun bikes, I ride a 48
Hammer, aber als Alternative sehe ich das nicht :).
RockN Rolla machen tierisch spass die Teile, besonders die 48 hat ordentlich Bums untenrum :)
goood
883 beginner bike my a ss! I've owned all kinds of bikes and they'll bust those big bikes a ss for em and especially in the mountains riding. Those big bikes will get left.
Does the 1200 make enough power? Does it accelerate fast ? And is it good on highways? Keep in mind I'm 6' 240lbs
***** No! no! and no! Get a V-Rod!
I'm also looking at a Honda fury and the Harley fat bob.
***** no buy a dyna! i had a 883 and got bored, switch it to a 1600cc dyna and thats a way new level man
go with a zx10r and you won't even worry about power
Last time I checked the ZX10R was a sport bike! Don't think this is what the guy is looking for.
And going to a Dyna is still a joke. If you want a cruiser that hauls get a V-Rod! The only Harley that really kicks ass! The others look badass, but really just suck!
i miss my 48 :(
I prefer riding at idol speed.with thup thup sound
48 d re am bobber build
die iron ist echt cool aber wer sich eine zulegen möchte, nach zwei wochen fehlt einfach der bums. lieber gleich eine forty eight :)
Not a lot between them really
Дорога мотоцикл ветер!!!
my goped will blow that away....
brazil
Insurance for the 883 is about 30% cheaper than the 1200.....
Lmao Chase me on my 883
harley didnt make a 883 iron head.. all iron heads are either 900 cc . 1000cc. 750cc flat tracker.. 1100 cc.. but no 883 iron head...
skip the bullshit, video starts at 0:30
I have an 2001 sporster 883. Just test rode a 2019 sporster 1200 .... My 2001 883 is actually faster. But in the 3019 defence my sporster is quite built
Oh stop it, your 883 isn't faster, it feels faster off the line because of the lower gearing. It is definetly not faster and that is a fact.
@@jonnymac8925 it's no longer 883 just sais it is lol. It's faster trust me
@@panteraowns2515 well than your 883 isn't faster than a 1200. Your 883 bored to 1200 or 1250/1275 might be faster than a stock 1200 but an 883 is nowhere near a 1200 stock for stock. The way it was worded is that your 883 is faster than a 1200 which it would absolutely not be. I have a 1200 with lots of mods too and there isnt an 883 anywhere near that can touch my 1200. What do you have done to your bike? I'm not knocking it either, I am sure it's an awesome bike as almost all sportys whether 883 or 1200 are, like I said before, it sounded like you were comparing a stock 883 to a stock 1200. I will add another video to my TH-cam in a little bit to show all the upgrades I have done since I picked it up a few months ago. I have a short video of the bike the day I picked it up in October, but it is nothing like that now hahaha if you are anything like me, you have to keep modding the Sporty because :
1. It's fun and easy to mod.
2. They are a blast when modded
3. Even fully built it costs less than a mid range Softail hahaha
4. They fucking rip and work so well when done right!
Keep on ripping those miles!
Chi usa un'Harley Davidson per correre,non ha capito l'harley Davidson.
I have an 883 and it has #noballs
so what !!!!!
But its chill
Yeah, they look nice as hell but my dad said everyone he knows that has had 883 got bored of it way too quick.
Je impressionnée elles vont presque aussi vite que ma 103. 😂
a bonneville triumphs them both
+Gurdit Singh from 2000 rpm to 5000 rpm the harley 48 has more power - and you can feel that really. Up to 6000 than the bonny takes off...
Well the bonnie is faster isn't it..?;)
+Gurdit Singh I think both do vmax about 190/195 km/h - but in reality I think, Harley-Driver seldom test the top speed of their bike. Last week I had a test drive on a 48 2016 (with better suspension and beefy fork) - and I was very impressed how strong and nimble the bike was. At low revs it feels definitly stronger than a normal bonny.
And which one reaches that speed first?...what I have researched 2015 bonnie can go 0-100kmph in 4.9-5.2 secs...and the Harley around.5.9-6.0,,,,,
However the 2016 bonnie isn't out yet..only spy shots with liquid cooled 1000cc+ displacement engine(acc. to critics)
will see then ;-)
+Gurdit Singh If you're so concerned with speed, why buy either?
LoL , that was like watching 2 snails race ... #indianscoutbobber
They r sooo slow. Well, it’s a cruiser, go get a jet of ur choice n stop looking at these bikes then. Gosh, well makes sense; u always wanna go as fast as possible so when u crash u just dnt suffer.
hahahaha Autobahn friedenau
Tortuga
i found my 1200 slow ,i can t imagine the 883
chick's bikes lol
The fuck out of here you seen older Harleys they're smaller then current sportster s
