2022 Harley-Davidson Iron 883 Buyer’s Guide (Specs, Prices, and Photos)

Although no longer part of the Sportster lineup—it’s now designed at Cruiser by The Motor Company—the 2022 Harley-Davidson Iron 883 prevails for another year. The enduring air-cooled Evolution V-twin returns unchanged, pumping out 54 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 54 ft-lbs of torque at 3750 rpm from its 54ci displacement.

Low and narrow, the 2022 Harley-Davidson Iron 883 is an elemental motorcycle. If you’re looking for electronic aids like traction control or power modes, move along—even ABS is a high-priced option. On the Iron 883, it’s between you and the motorcycle, with precious little getting between you—even passengers are an unnecessary distraction.
