Smaller than an Iron 883n Sportster?

[freelancer2011]

Hi all,

Sometimes I see these models out and about town and I'm asking myself "Is that smaller than the 2012 Iron 883 I tested earlier, this year?"

Are these 883s from 1986 - 2003 models or even earlier? They look great though!

If I were to look into getting one, which ones are the best models and which years are the ones to look for?

I guess ease of maintenance, anything lighter than 251kg are factors & comfortable rides are the only considerations for me. ...At the minute, I've spent so much time researching and saving-up for the F650 I've got I'm kinda looking for something fun, or different, to ride now and again

Lab.

The 883 is the smallest bike in the range. The only difference between the models is suspension height and tank size really.

The 48 looks smaller because of the tiny tank, however it is a 1200 and über cool :cool

Neat! -Thanks Mutley. ..I've got a funny feeling I might have mistaken it for something else, then. Oh dear, really embarrassed now!
