Written by: Harley-Davidson
Date: August 16, 2009
The 883 Low offers all the style and character of a much more expensive bike, at an entry-level price of $6,999. Its low seat height and comfortable ergonomics make the 883 Low an unintimidating choice for anyone who wants to jump in the saddle.
Born on the gritty dirt tracks and drag strips of the 1950s, the Harley-Davidson® Sportster® represents the uninhibited essence of motorcycling. Today’s Sportster combines soulful styling with the flat torque delivery and distinctive sound of an American V-Twin engine. Among the most-affordable Harley-Davidson models, Sportster motorcycles offer a low, comfortable seat and smooth clutch effort.
