So. . .Is the Harley Superlow 883 all it's cracked up to be? Is it a chiropractor's dream or a true legend?

by you you
What is it cracked up to be? How many ways to repackage an 80s turd.
It probably won't smell now...?

Its not cracked up to be anything other than a Harley, so yes it is all its cracked up to be.
Going by the standards by which motorcycles are normally assessed and measured its an unbelievebly awful pile of crap, but as a Harley its very much a Harley and for anyone wanting a Harley it will meet their Harley requirements.
Having said that its an awful pile of crap, its the one Harley I actually like, but only because I like the look of it.
If my living room was big enough I'd have one as an ornament but I sure as shit wouldn't want to ride it every day.

Keep it 100
, I'm with you. I friend of mine has a similar Harley and he is happy with it. But, then again he wouldn't be caught dead on a scooter. It's up to you with what you feel happy with. I prefer scooters, much better of a ride.

It is a cool looking. . .cool sounding motorcycle. . .but the ground clearance issues can be a safety hazard IMHO. And not to throw in the pillion and foot pegs with the basic machine just seems cheap to me. And why can't they just have one turn signal switch like they do on the Street Rod 750? At least that machine has better cornering clearance but I've read the engine can throw some serious heat in city traffic. I dunno. It's kind of like being offered a really juicy steak and then you find out the cook dropped it on the floor pulling it out of the oven. It's still a really juicy steak. . .but would you want to eat it?
