Harley releases new Sportster

From Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada

MILWAUKEE, WI – With a defiant attitude embracing the pure essence of riding, the new Iron 883 is the latest Harley-Davidson Dark Custom motorcycle.

Harley-Davidson Sportster models like the Iron 883 have stood against the grain since their introduction in 1957, when the modern rebel culture was being bred from restless veterans and hot rod pioneers. The Sportster models became the starting point for many legendary choppers of the 1960s, while also getting pumped up for championship dirt racing and daredevil stunt riding in the 1970s.

The Iron 883 bike keeps that rebellious tradition with responsive handling, smooth clutch effort, and a durable, carbon reinforced drive belt, while pushing the styling of motorcycling minimalism to the edge. Decked in black from fender to fender, the new Harley-Davidson Iron 883 brings the beat of an 883 Evolution engine, backed up by a combo of gritty, old-school garage features like front fork gaiters, drag style handlebar, and side-mount license plate holder.

The Iron 883 starts at just $9,569 Canadian MSRP, leaving plenty of freedom for customization.

“This bike has so much potential for creative customization and comes with a very attractive price tag which will make it all the more fun to tailor to individual taste,” said Ric Marrero, Marketing Programs & Events Director for Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada.

As the latest of the Harley-Davidson Dark Customs, the Iron 883 bike is stripped down and ripe for custom creativity. Dark Custom motorcycle riders have the youngest average age for Harley-Davidson buyers. Soul mates of the Iron 883 include the Nightster, Night Train, Cross Bones, Fat Bob, and Street Bob motorcycles. Check out more on Dark Custom motorcycles at www.harley-davidson.com/darkcustom.

The Iron 883 bike is available in Black Denim and Brilliant Silver Denim colours.
