Description

This 1989 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 is a striking custom one-off that delivers the low-down torque and raw character Harleys are known for. The specialist conversion and chain conversion provide a direct, engaging feel through the drivetrain, making town riding effortless and open-road cruising relaxed and enjoyable. Its upright stance and planted chassis make manoeuvring simple while the custom detailing gives it timeless presence.

Practical enough for regular use, the bike will be supplied correctly serviced with a new 12-month MOT and a short dealer warranty for peace of mind. If you want a characterful, easy-to-ride cruiser with clear specialist work and strong road manners, this Sportster balances personality and usability very well.
