2010 Harley-Davidson Sportster Iron 883

  • August 26

Sportster-883-Iron

The Iron 883™ pushes minimal Dark Custom styling to the edge with a V-Twin beat and gritty, old-school garage features. The $7,999 MSRP makes this model a great starting point for customization.

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.
