Harley Davidson XL 883NIron (2009)

The Harley-Davidson XL 883Iron is the latest iteration in a long line of Dark Custom motorcycles that embody the rebellious spirit of motorcycling. Since their introduction in 1957, Sportster motorcycles like the Iron 883 have been the starting point for countless legendary choppers and racing machines.

With its blacked-out aesthetic from fender to fender, this bike is a true minimalist statement piece. The Iron 883 is powered by an 883cc Evolution engine, complete with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) and performance tuning that delivers a broad torque curve for effortless city riding.

The distinctive Harley-Davidson V-Twin sound emanates from the straight cut shorty dual exhaust pipes, while the chopped rear fender showcases the bike’s rugged, stripped-down design. With its responsive handling, smooth clutch effort, and durable components, the Iron 883 is a true thrill machine that defies conventions and invites customization.

And with an MSRP starting at just $7,899, this black beauty provides the perfect platform for riders to unleash their creativity and make it truly one-of-a-kind.
