Rego Until:

The bars on the Iron are what Harley call ‘slammed drag-style’, anyway after rolling your eyes at that one… they are actually quite a comfortable bend and place your arms at a fairly natural stance.

In standard trim the 883 donk will power the Iron to 100km/h in under six-seconds and top out around 160km/h, if you hang on long enough. Good enough performance for most buyers of this style of machine. 110km/h is a comfortable enough cruising speed with the engine humming along smoothly at 3500rpm. And make no mistake, it is a very smooth running motor. Like all Harleys there is a fair shake at a standstill, but once up and rolling its smooth as silk, not even a minor blur through the reasonably useful mirrors.

The instrumentation is elegantly simple but provides everything you need. The tripmeters, clock, gear position and rpm all shown on a very small LCD strip. Thanks to the positioning of the speedometer up nice and high it is all easy to read and the different functions can be scrolled through from the bar. Nice.

Braking performance has been improved for 2014 with new master cylinders, lever (non-adjustable), larger pistons in the calipers, new brake lines and larger rotors with the whole system managed by a new ABS system that works quite well.

Please note there are some scratches and scrapes on the right side of the bike on the mirror, exhaust and levers.

All yours for only
