2002 Harley-Davidson XL 883R Sportster®

Raw-boned styling housed in a narrow, nimble frame. Carrying on a tradition started in 1957, the Sportster family continues its evolution, providing quick, responsive handling, a flat torque curve and raw, racy style. This year, all Sportster models receive the popular bullet-style turn signals first introduced in 2000 on the FXSTD. In addition, a more rigid exhaust flange connects the exhaust system to the cylinder heads, providing improved styling and a more durable exhaust system. Finally, a new fuel shut off valve provides a more tactile feel between the on and off setting, and enhanced styling. The Sportster 883, 883 Hugger® and Sportster 1200 continue to bring new riders into the sport, and introducing them to the world of Harley-Davidson by combining fun and value. The XL Sportster 883 Custom returns with forward foot controls, custom handlebar risers and a sporty two-up seat.
