The true soul of H-D® racing is captured in nearly every aspect of the 883R. You’re looking at one clean, mean torque machine that does nothing to hide its checkered past. So say the ode-to-dirt-track paint job and the aerodynamic lines of the infamous XR flat-track racers who have been ripping it up since the 1970s. One look at the wide rear rubber and barky staggered shorty duals and you know it would never back down from a challenge. Let the eyes wander to the blacked-out treatment on the calipers, forks, handlebar, springs, air cleaner cover and Evolution® V-twin motor and it’s no small wonder the ol’ ticker’s racing.
