The 2005 MY Harley Davidson XL883R Sportster has, at its heart, an air-cooled, 883cc, Evolution V-Twin powerhouse mated to a five-speed manual transmission and can produce a claimed 69 Nm of torque at 4300 rpm. Unlike the base Sportster 883, the R-suffixed model offers superior performance, thanks to the dual front brake discs, the wider, dirt-track inspired handlebars and a re-tuned engine. Other features include a race-checkered graphic scheme on the fuel tank, silver, 13-spoked wheels, a two-up seat, passenger foot pegs, a staggered, shorty dual exhaust system, and a classic, 3.3-gallon fuel tank.
