Harley is waking up to what everyone else knows. The future is not in bloated, leather-tasselled cruisers, it’s in messed-up, edgy, stripped-back designs. So here’s Milwaukee’s angle on the retro-modern trend: the Iron 883. It’s part of Harley’s “Dark Custom” range, and there’s more than a hint of the rat bike aesthetic in there. Harley’s fishing for a new audience—looking beyond the usual retired businessmen, tattooed Hell’s Angels-wannabes, and general rednecks. Good luck to them: we’d make space for an Iron 883 in the Bike EXIF garage.

I am absolutely in love with this bike!
I have an Iron (my first Harley) and LOVE it… 1284mi on her in 3 weeks of around the house riding.
I also bought an Iron 883 as my first H-D bike. I like the retro look and the lack of chrome. To me, the dark, flat paint job gives it a no non-sense, “industrial” look which I prefer personally to the pampered, glossy, colorful, chromed-out large dressers.
Oh, and it handels like a dream.
First HD bike as well and its F***ing sik and handles traffic (lane slicing) like a sport bike. The only possible negative is that the amount of optional (much needed! : ) upgrades you can do to it will burn a hole through your a$$ pocket faster than a thai hooker!!! But thats every Harley. Now go out and ride!!!!!!!
