Like an old-time outlaw that’s been taught manners, today’s 883 is a refined and finely evolved riding machine. But give the throttle a twist and it doesn’t take long to bring out its move-it-or-lose-it spirit. You’re hooking up with the basic, no-nonsense combination that’s been tattooing grins on riders’ faces for five decades. A narrow and nimble frame. A potent V-twin engine generating loads of tar-singeing torque. Just enough style to let all the muscle shine through, with the classic-style tank and shorty duals. We top it all off with the one part that still surprises many people: an affordable price tag dangling from the polished-steel handlebar.
