One of the most famous and best-selling Sportsters, the Iron 883 has from the start asserted its rebellious face. It’s not THE best-selling Harley model (this role is owned by the Street Glide) but its success is enough to make you wonder why it never had a big brother..
If we wanted to keep the spirit of the Iron but with more watts in the pants, we had to take a big step and type in Fat Bob or Low Rider. Harley will reconcile all punch lovers with this new 1200 Iron. The Sportster wins there “black” stripes and a personality that will displease only one actor … the 883.
Why ? Because the 1200 offers a good deal more for just a little more. In terms of engine alone, this Sportster no longer plays in the same category. With almost 10 mkg of torque reached at just 3,500 rpm, the Evolution twin balances 36% more potato. When the 883 leaves fans of a big spoon hungry, the brother will give more cream on the dessert. When it comes to power, the balance tilts without hesitation with 66 horsepower, or 15 more than the original Iron.
Only a question of engine then? No, take a good look. Here, the small cap has been replaced by a small nose screen. The riding position will also be different with the transplant of a mini-ape handlebar. As for the seat provided by the Cafe Solo saddle, we change the register with a less bulging front part and a rear designed to cash the decline. But let fans be reassured, he’s an Iron, and he shows it.
He is stocky, stocky, almost boxed in. Black, very black as it should be. We find dark everywhere. On the exhausts, the engine, the fork, the handlebars, the wheels. Small disappointments, the ends of the sticks are no longer polished and the belt guard is not perforated – this added to the style. On the other hand, the bellows are renewed just like the mini front mudguard. In fact, there is just enough to assert a difference before the engine comes to confirm the warning..
Would anyone find a more worthy representative of the vintage spirit than Harley? Locked in this niche and authentically sulphated, the MoCo further asserts its attachment to the great era of easy-riders with very 70’s graphics on the tank. With this Sportster 1200 Iron, we bring out our glasses for the West Coast, we show off and we allow ourselves to heat the rubber.
