2009 Harley Davidson XL883R Sportster, 1200cc. registration number AV09 VWX. Frame number 5HD4CS2129K422810. Engine number S2129K422810.
The Harley-Davidson Sportster was first offered in 1957 as an 883cc overhead valve replacement for the outdated 55 cubic inch side-valve KH and KHK models that simply could not compete on performance with the overhead valve British competition.
By 1972, the Sportster’s displacement was increased to 1,000cc, but in 1986, the 883cc displacement was returned to the Sportster line and the 1,000cc model was bumped up to 1,100cc. In 1988 the 1,100cc model was bumped up again to 1,200cc. In 2007, the XR1200 was added—and so was the XL883R.
The 883 combines performance with straight-ahead styling such as the distinctive "peanut" fuel tank, chrome, staggered dual shorty exhaust, sleek solo seat and silver, 13-spoke cast aluminum wheels.
VWX was purchased by Tom Bell from Black Bear Harley Davidson in Suffolk in April 2010 when the mileage was 2,079. Our vendor bought it in August 2011 and when its first MOT was undertaken it was at 2,835 miles, the last one in August 2021 was at 3,579 miles. In the September he had Harley World of Chesterfield fit a stage 1 and 1200cc conversion to the engine and this was upgraded to stage 2 in the October as well as a Crazy Horse exhaust. In 2012 he fitted a new seat and tail from Storz Performance of California and Ohlins rear shocks.
He has now decided to emigrate and has recommissioned the bike.
Sold with the V5C and many receipts for parts as per above.
