Cut it out you blokes .. a lot of 883 riders are deluded and confused about what exactly it is they have purchased ( and how they are viewed by "real bikers" ) ..hahahahahaha .. be kind to them.
In my day, 883=sportsters were called "Texas dirt bikes" and none of us counted them as true Harley riders. Twelve large Harleys, Yamaha,Suzuki, and Kawasaki later.....they are still Texas dirt bikes to me........just sayin' and of course, my Rocket !
