Harley-Davidson was established in Milwaukee in 1903 and has gone on to become one of the world's best-known and longest-running motorcycle manufacturers. Harley-Davidson is the archetype for large-capacity cruisers which many have tried to copy, never quite equalling Harley's image and prestige. The Sportster in its various guises has been in the Harley catalogue since the 1950s and has often been a motorcyclist's first introduction to the mystique of owning and riding one of these iconic bikes. Powered by the classic air-cooled V-twin engine in a nice, simple frame its low seat height and relative light weight makes it an ideal all rounder.
This 2010 Sportster 883R is a good-looking bike presented in Harley's classic Orange and Black race team colours. Displaying a credible c. 12, 575 miles on its speedo, unusually for a Sportster it is offered in essentially standard trim with just the rear shocks having been upgraded to a pair of Hagons and a Hagon front-fork kit fitted to improve the ride. The bike is also fitted with a chrome rear carrier, a backrest and a pair of spot lights up front. A new drive belt was fitted in June 2023 and it is protected with a Carole Nash Insurance 'DNA Protection' kit and will come supplied with a current V5C.
