The 2014 MY Harley Davidson Iron 883 presents itself as a minimalist, modern package, but with a certain hint of classic roadsters, like all Harleys are. It sports a 883cc, air-cooled Evolution powerhouse that boasts 70 Nm at 3750 rpm, which may not sound too powerful. Still, its moderate 245 kg dry weight makes it a mid-sized cruiser that's fairly easy to steer even in crowded traffic.
As was expected from the House Milwaukee, they have fitted it with the latest technologies developed, such as ABS, a revised brake system, a new closed loop exhaust system and some new ergonomic hand controls. Visually, the bike is very pleasing, in a less-is-more kind of way, with thirteen-spoked cast aluminium wheels, a classic peanut fuel tank and handlebars inspired from drag motorcycles. It has an overall blacked-out, raw look, most of the flashy chrome being replaced with an aggressive, dark powder-coat.
