youll enjoy it, to a point.

i had a 2003 883 custom. i ended up selling it after putting about 10K miles on it. In a way, i miss it and probably should have kept it...

i miss that thumping sound and feel. there really is nothing like the feel of a harley engine at idle. brit bikes, which i love, dont come close. nothing really does..even the lowly 883

ultimately though, i found the 883 to be a dreadful riding bike on the highway above 50 mph because those rear springs are dangerous. youll notice the rear wheel hopping, leaving the road surface...which at high speeds is not fun... also, once you hit 50, youll be wondering where 7th or 8th gear is....you run out of revs really quick

I put many thousands of miles on mine in manhattan and the sourrounding area, brooklyn, LI, queens etc..and it was an awsome city bike. you could really flick it around obstacles. back country roads as well, were a really joy to put along on

i had straight pipes on mine which woke it up quite a bit, with a jet kit. vance and hines straight shots ... very nice tone

good luck with it
