    I got my first time bike 1.14.2018 and it’s a 883 Iron industrial gray. I just turned 65 in July took the HD rider school. I put 1400 miles on it around town I love it. I wanted a bike just to go out to ride part of the day. No nighttime or rush hour, rain and expressway I have my caddy for that. I put Vance and Hines side three inch mufflers on a naked air filter and fuel pack 3, HD side bag, Wille G clutch cover and gas cap and a Dart fly screen oh yes Avon grips too. That baby gets a lot of head turns. You’re never to old to learn new things.

    I've been riding a Road King for years and picked up a used Sportster earlier this year. I love my 08' 1200 C Sporty and probably spend at least as much time on it as the Road King. I've been riding for enough years that I can praise the virtues of the Sporty without taking any crap from anyone. Anyone who disses on the Sporty has never thrown a leg over. The Sporty is a great bike.

    Your comment about the 883 being a girl's bike, brought back memories of my first bike 50+ years ago. It was a mini-bike with a racing go-cart engine. The older bikers would make huge fun of me, till I out ran them. Because of this, everyone wanted to ride it. In exchange, I got to ride a ton of bikes I could of only dreamed of and never afford at that time in my life. They found other things to make fun of, but not the bike :))

      I saw people in Germany demanding similar prices or like ten year old model for 75%. Who will buy that? I don't even try to barter and I know Harley bikes do not change much in comparison with other brands over ten years.
      There are imports from the USA sold at a hefty price and wirhout the info up front whether the necessary changes to make it street legal in Germany are included.

    Had to stop the video just so i could say..Nice 1 m8! 👍. You sound like a really decent top bloke and the info you provided was really helpfull. I am sold on the 883. It looks amazing! This is gonna be my 1st bike for sure. I start my biking journey at 45y old next weekend with sitting my CBT here in Scotland and i reckon with commitments it will prob take me around 8 weeks or so of lessons before i manage to sit and pass my test. After my close friend passed away suddenly last month at only 46 years of age it has been hard to think about anything positive. However it just highlights that life is too short and that it is for living, i have re-evaluated lots of things these past few weeks. I have been putting this off for too long!. I am looking forward to learning and riding and when i buy my iron 883 in a few mths time this year i am going to get my friends name engraved on it. His name was Scott. All the best buddy.

    Like a weapon.
    A well worn competition AR-15.

    I’ve owned both the iron 883 sand camo, and the forty eight, I must say that the extra displacement of the 1200 makes it perfect for a bar hopper, as well as being able to move along nicely on the freeway when necessary. The 883 was great, and a ton of fun, but as they say, there is no replacement for displacement. Currently riding a dr650 which is not so much of an upgrade, rather it is a shift in my desired riding wants and needs. If you like cruising around town ( ya at speed limit, sure ) and do occasional to medium freeway use, the sportys are great starter bikes, and have tons of mods that can make it look fantastic.

    This is a very enjoyable review to listen to and watch. I am actually thinking about down grading my Harley Low-Rider S to a new Iron 883. I had one of the early evolution 883 Sportsters back in 1990 and loved it. I like the lower maintenance costs, the fact that an oil change is all you need to also take care of the primary and transmission, and I am glad to see the bike is so reliable. It almost sounds like the Sportster 883 Iron (unmodified) is more reliable than the M 8.

    The wife has 14 iron. I put on vh short shots, 14" apes, hi flow air filter, fp3 tuner and a few other things. It's an absolute blast to ride. I highly recommend it. And if you want more motor I recommend the s&s 1200 conversion. It will eat a factory 1200 alive.

    I love this bike. I owned it for a month and the previous owner (a close friend) wanted to buy it back with the same price. He couldn't live without it. The only thing I didn't like about it is that I looked funny on it :D
    I always love your videos block head.

    I just bought a 2016 Iron 883 but a day after I bought it, I unfortunately broke my knee due to a longboarding accident. Once I'm all healed up though I can't wait to ride this thing!

    Have been thinking about getting an Indian Scout Bobber 20. After watching this video now I think I'll be happier with an Iron 883. Love the Harley exhaust sound and the 883 seems powerful enough to suit my needs. Haven't been on a bike since the mid 80's, rode a Honda 750.

    I thought that dealership looked familiar, and as soon as you did the aerial shot the construction on I-4 made it unmistakable. Great video man.

    When you ride a 48 Special, hold on loosely, but don't let it go...
    Mid controls make me feel like I have less control, because they're right in the way of putting my feet down.
    Harley-Davidson's are tested for handling the engine heat, in Arizona.

    I hear a lot of people complaining it’s difficult to find neutral, not here in this comment section but in general. I just have a piece of advice that if you kinda “push” the clutch peg *in* towards the engine and lift up slowly, that has never failed me.

    • @rugershooter5268
      @rugershooter5268 Před měsícem

      The reason they have hard time finding neutral is they put 20w-50 in the primary, if they change to gear oil it will fix the problem immediately, after riding for awhile the clunk and moving forward when going into first will also go away......read the owners manual

    The blockhead nickname was coined because the heads prior to the 1980's were cast iron , the Evo motor was the first time HD used a block of aluminum machined to make the heads of the new improved motor !!! Thus the "blockhead " motor was created !!! The aluminum also has better heat transference properties and stronger than cast iron !!!

    I test drove an Iron 883, I'm 6'4" 285 lbs, it felt cramped for me but it was fun to ride. One of my friends who came with me said I was the only person he's ever known that made a Sportster look like a Grom! 😎

    Hi Blockhead, After watching your video I decided to go for it. I went to the dealership sat on the bike it felt great as I'm 5'6'. I placed an order for a black denim Iron 883 which will be ready in two weeks. I am 62 years of age I live in the UK and always wanted a Harley. Great video, thanks for sharing.

    The painting scheme is better now - comparing to 2018 model. Varnished paint is way more scratch-resistant(as opposed to matte finish in 2018). I also like the new logo better - but it is a matter of personal preference. But there's one important thing: did Harley drop keyless ignition in favour of traditional keyed ignition ?

    Hey Blockhead, I bet you can get some sponsorship from some lenders, and bike Insurance companies.
    I like how you describe the bikes! I like you include the prices, it makes me want to go buy a new one! I've never had a Harley, I've only had naked bikes mostly 1,000cc and 1,200cc Honda, Suzuki, and Ducati.
    Keep riding on! :-)

    I have a 2010 Iron 883 and I've put many happy miles on it. I'm intrigued by the new hand controls. The odometer and clock function button was always the button behind the speedo and it's hard to get at with a fairing installed. Is the new handlebar control something that can be easily adapted to an older bike? Or is it part of the wiring harness upgrade and probably too much of a hassle?

Will accept any advice but I know all I have to do is get on and ride to see for myself. Oh and you sir have been subcribed! Awesome vid.

    Blockhead... I currently own a 2015 XL883N (since late January) and would to ask of your opinion in upgrading the fuel tank (from 3.3 to 4.5) and if would it be financially better to either upgrade bikes or converting from 883cc to a 1200cc? ✌🏾
