Budget-crunched motorcycle fans who've dreamed of owning a Harley (or adding one to their existing fleet) have met their match in the brand new Harley-Davidson Sportster Iron 883. This bad boy is priced starting at $7,899--that's $2,000 less than its next-of-kin Nightster 1200.
The matte black Harley-Davidson Sportster Iron 883 boasts a slammed suspension, solo seat and 13-spoke wheels. It's a part of the Dark Custom series, which explains its one-color design. There are, however, two other matte finishes available, Brilliant Silver and Black Denim.
