bike shopping for a friend....
10/31/09 at 14:11:18

one of my karate bros just got his license and is in the market....we just went and looked @ an 883 sportster. it's a '99 with about 9000 on it. silver with a couple of upgrades. it also had a softail rear fender on it. it was nice, sounded good.

BUT my savage is WAAAAAY louder, and the sportster isn't that much bigger or heavier then what we have. i hope he gets it, he needs a bike so he can ride with us. there is i believe 4 of us who have bikes and are brown belts. a vulcan 900, kawasaki concours 1000, one dude has a family full of choppers then me!! lol i kinda like being the one when they are all parked and someone goes "what's that one right there?" lol!!

'95 bobber rat...i guess it's a "bat bike" haha flat black mostly, bare metal tank, header wrap, always a work in progress !

Does one or the other have a malfunction? He must not like the savage,....as he could probably have a new Bullie for the price of a used older Sportie ?

Reply #3 - 11/01/09 at 22:28:09 the 883 had a very low grumble, while mine is the debaffled sporty muffler lol and he likes the m50 but it's a little pricey. and he's about 2inches taller then me so 5'8" and about 190ish....so the sporty fit him good. it did feel heavy up top....like the tank itself weighed a ton...weird!!!!
