The next day, I called them before I left and there was no answer.

harley dealership? 2nd hand u mean??

hmmm... buying from dealership and sunhog definitely is higher than pte owners.. juz like other normal bike shops u c, sure will chop u.. the difference is chop abit or alot.

 

However, at dealership, the sales executive, daniel(if i m not wrong) has got contacts of those pte owners that wanna sell their bike. So thru him u can buy from pte owner.

 

But of cos got to give commission to him la. However whether the commission is from the buyer or seller or both, i m not sure.

 

Anyway its few hundred bucks only i think.

 

U can always check out http://www.singaporebikes.com

got few sportser sellers there.

Thanks to Harley Davidson Singapore, if not I wont have a chance to test ride the 883R. Really for the bike.

They have organised a ride up to Pagoh & with their generosity I was able to take their 883R on the ride. Initially was comtemplating if I could handle the bike as I seldom ride a chopper,worried of the weight, whether its agile, blar..blar...blar.....

To my surprised, its so managable.....! I could get adapted to it quickly and control the throttle easily. Have rode dry & wet roads & the bike runs well on both condition.

Always tot Harley is not suitable for female riders but I was wrong. Strongly recommend the 883 to all the ladies out there. Muz test ride the 883R!

"R Version" has a significance different compare to other sportster. They inherent ceramic coasted black engine, most attachment parts are black and comes with 2-1 pipe. Color code is orange.

You talking the same one ?

2004 model onwards has a rubber mounting for the engine and the clutch control is softer.

 

Last heard, there are about 12 pieces on th road. Till date not sure ... ...

 

Is a great bike for all purpose. It has a great city riding ability.

Yap its the orange colour with black chrome parts, duno which year thou. Really fallen in love with the bike now... hope able to afford one soon:cheeky:

Eeerrrrr.... me female....

 

Well, have checked the classified but all r not the model I have ridden.....its year 2005 model with only 1 exhaust and black out parts.

 

There r many type of sportster and with different height, really looking forward to own one. I did have the chance to take the 1200sportster custom but find its abit low and big oil tank. Glad with the bike i pick.

 

But think guys would prefered heavier and bigger model, find 883R is very suitable for ladies coz its more agile

wah Respect!!!

Rare to find a ger interested in owning a harley...

Give u my respect, *bow*

Actually vrod handling and agile is on par w sportser... but the power is too initmating... at least to me... hah

 

We will be seeing u riding a 883R in the near future??

 

Harley attracts attentions... a ger on 883R attracts at least double the attention we gets... Damn!!!

Ya ... we are togather every week.

I ridden a ThunderBird before, I still think 900cc ThunderBird is faster even sportster bore is 1200. What sportster need is a complete Screaming 1200cc kits. Higher comp pistons, performance cams and head works togather with ignition module + high revving CDi. Otherwise no chance.

In addition with doug fisher engine damper + Baker 06 gearbox ... confirm OK ... ... ...

Wah u sure r a insider man~

 

So i believe u r heading towards tat direction ar??

 

Gd luck!

make HD riders proud!!!

:cheer:

Size is not my priority. Application and ability is what I looking for. Usually ended up pretty compact.

 

Is quite hard to comeby for 2nd hand unless you go for new.

Straight from factory 2-1 pipe is properly only brought into Singapore in 2003, in conjunction with 100th anniversary celebration that Harley roll out a special edition 883R model with a HD seal on the black engine cover.

Sad to say you had just missed one 2005 model sold a few days ago. Condition is superd !

Seen more is for older sportsters not the one tat I'm keen in, but even there is i wont be able to afford it at the moment... mayb if i sell off my monster then can consider for another..

 

Actually the one tat i rode is with the 2 exhaust... duno why i keep thinking its 1....

 

Been dreaming abt the bike.... since the test ride.....

wah lau, why want to trash my Thunderbird? Ride together better lah

But actually mine isnt a cafe racer although it's custom painted to resemble one.

It's just a retro/classic roadster.

 

some comparisons:-

 

883 ('02) TBird ('96) 1200 ('02)

 

Power 53bhp 70bhp 59bhp

Torque 68 Nm 72Nm 89Nm

Weight 245kg 220kg 235kg

Drive belt chain belt

Gears 4? 5 4?

Top ? 180km/hr ?

 

Quite difficult to determine which is faster leh. all about the same. give and take

What give and take ? Look ... the weight and horsepower ... how to fight ... smell TB smoke. Somemore TB got better cornering ability.

What I did on my sportster new set-up maybe still got chance.

hmmm... i cant wait to seehow ur cafe racer sportser look like man!

Jess, to give you some idea. Below pic is a 2003 model, its come original 2-1 pipe, so you are not 100% wrong.

 

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c57/Daryous/My%20Motorcycles/SportsterPipeResize.jpg

Infact, its exactly the same model as the pix which Scarab had provided. Prefer 2 exhaust thou... the 2-in exhaust looks abit like those for Vmax....
