2013 Harley Davidson Iron 883


Me.. Excited.. LOL
Oh wow! Shortly after I bought myself my 1st big bike < in picture: Versys 650 >, my dad bought himself a the latest Harley Davidson (HD) bike. 2013 Iron 883 ~~ 2013 model ! ~~

Oh how lucky I am since he let me ride it from the Harley shop back to home.
7 November 2012, the day I get to be the 1st guy to ride it!! Pic: Proud owner of the "American Chopper".
Wet & sexy; upon arrival at home.
How fortunate I am to be able to be the 1st guy to officially ride it, but how unfortunate I am it was raining quite heavily midway!!
The keys to fun & adventure.. The bulky round thing is actually the control for the in-built alarm system.
I'd say I am blessed. The very next day, my father actually asked me whether I would like to ride the bike to work... Duhh.. YES PLEASE! =)

And yes.. I was quite famous for a while at the parking spot to be riding 4 big bikes at such a young age (I didn't tell them it was my fathers bike... LOL)

HD Iron 883 at my favourite parking spot!
Just back from work~with a huge smile on my face =p
Some of the nice features of the bike.
HD really put some R&D and show quality in their bikes.

  • Gorgeous paint job.
  • Sexy overall look.
  • Thick brake & clutch lever; which is BRILLIANT! Didn't see this in any other bikes I've seen.
  • 2-in-1 brake & signal light.

Some more pictures of the bike.
The new Harley Helmet to compliment the bike. They doesn't look expensive but they are actually mighty expensive!
My father uses his RM3k voucher on accessories such as the HD Ultra Jet helmet (picture above) and jacket, which I think should be used on other more expensive things such as exhaust system.

Snapshot below is the bike specification I found online. Just click on the link at the picture for more info.

To sum things up, I do think that this bike is a really good bike.
I'm giving this Iron a 4.5/5 stars. Hehehe!! I simply love this bike!

There are some things I wish Harley can improve though..

  • Reduce bike vibration.
  • Somehow, the engine heat is really too much too handle if I ride this bike noon time in the middle of high traffic. Equator noon heat + HD engine heat = moving sauna.
  • The bike comes as 2 seaters in factory spec instead of single seater bike.

Anyway.. I think myself as the co-owner of the bike since I am riding it more often than the actual owner!! Hehehe!
