Harley Davidson Forty Eight vs Harley Davidson Iron 883

Question 1

Q. Which is best between Forty Eight, Iron 883 and Custom?

Answer

All these bikes are good enough. The Sportster 1200 Custom is the latest entrant to the Harley-Davidson India portfolio and replaced the Sportster 883 that was discontinued from our market. It is powered by the same 1,200cc V-twin motor as seen as on the Forty-Eight and with the Sportster 1200 Custom, the American bikemaker will be targeting mature riders in the hunt for a relaxed mile muncher. As compare to Forty Eight, it gets a way big fuel tank and as it gets spoke wheels, it is more comfortable and suitable for cruising. Forty Eight, the nightster is unlike your normal Harley which swims in a pond of chrome. The nighster is all about stealth with matte-finish a no polished surface. If we talk about Harley Davidson Iron 883, it is basic and a budget way into Harley ownership. Also, it has comparatively better ground clearance and it is more suitable for both city and highway rides as compared to the other two. You may compare all these bikes accordingly. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.

Question 2

Q. Which is better Forty eight or Iron 883?

Answer

Iron 883 is more of a controlled ride and forty eight is more of a ride over riders take, iron 883cc engine is more decent and keep under controlled type of bike, while the 1200cc of the forty eight is a more faster engine, both are good at short rides and a little bit of cruising, but if you have a really good 6 lines highway and a large distance to cover everyday i would recommend you to take a look at the softail family which is updated now, it has good collection , but for India they have provided only 4 bikes this 2020, so in short for if you are planning to get the sportster (iron, or forty eight or roadster or 1200custom they sure are good round town bikes and for local errands, ) if you are doing 100+ speeds on the highway along with your sporty bike riders, i would strongly recommend you to take a look at the softail family.

Answer

Both are same, engine displacement is the only diff, you can do that with 883 as well, there is an 1200 cc upgrade kit that is available

Question 4

Q. My yearly bike running will be 1500-2000kms which bike should I buy Ducati scrambler or Harley Davidson iron 883? Used or new?

Answer

Ducati Scrambler is an easy and fun-to-ride bike. Retro-cool looks, backed by modern technology, the Scrambler harks back to the days of simple motorcycling – two wheels and an empty road. Yet, it is a modern motorcycle and will appeal to all classic bike lovers. The Ducati Scrambler 800 is powered by an 803 cc air-cooled engine which produces the max power of 72.8 PS @ 8250 rpm and a max torque of 66.2 Nm @ 5750 rpm. If we talk about Harley Davidson Iron 883, it is basic and a budget way into Harley ownership. Also, it is more suitable for both city and highway rides. Harley Davidson Iron 883, is poured-in saturated power by the Evolution V-twin 883 cc air-cooled engine that is engineered with a passion to churn out a maximum power of 50.6 PS @ 5500 rpm and a maximum torque of 70 Nm at 3500 rpm. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride of both bikes before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.

Question 5

Q. I am confused between Harley Davidson Iron 883 and Bonneville T 100 and T 120. Looking for a perfect match between a daily commuter and distance tourer?

Answer

I own an iron 883 and would say that a T 120 would be a better bet . Triumph is liquid cooled and is a better long distance tourer.
