Born with a garbage disposal-like appetite for more? Lucky you. The 1200 Custom offers the feast of feats. Unique chrome accents and added custom features not found on the other Sportster® models. Put 1,200 cc of Milwaukee V-twin at the center of a motorcycle frame, and it’s bound to drop its fair share of jaw.

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.

With enough grit to put the edge back on a blade, it's the rawest bare-knuckled 1,200 cc Sportster® model yet. Chopped front and rear fenders. Side-mounted license plate. Stop-tail-turn lights. Low 25.3-inch seat height. Old school front fork gaiters. Rawboned graphics and a new finish on its V-Twin Evolution® engine. And just for good measure, Black throughout.

The true soul of H-D® racing is captured in nearly every aspect of the 883R. You’re looking at one clean, mean torque machine that does nothing to hide its checkered past. So say the ode-to-dirt-track paint job and the aerodynamic lines of the infamous XR flat-track racers who have been ripping it up since the 1970s. One look at the wide rear rubber and barky staggered shorty duals and you know it would never back down from a challenge. Let the eyes wander to the blacked-out treatment on the calipers, forks, handlebar, springs, air cleaner cover and Evolution® V-twin motor and it’s no small wonder the ol’ ticker’s racing.
