DR ◣◢ Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I am wondering about the 883 more and more!! The mat black look is and lines are just so pretty!! The 883 has one problem. You'll get bored quickly and want to upgrade to the 1200. Almost two years now on the 1200 and it's a lot of fun still. Rode the 883 and it was seriously muted in power delivery. Hairy 1

My dakkie is feeling bleh the last couple of weeks. And it is not happy with the 100km a day commute at highway speeds. Hairy 1

Harley's are pretty & fun to ride sure, but very much doubt they're a good idea for 100km commutes at highway speeds.......many better options for this type of commute. Allrounder, Hairy and Grebel 3

Depends on the rider and which model I guess. I've done 500km trips with mine and I've done the 100km just for a quick ride kind of trips. I'd have one issue with a 100km commute and that is filling up every day. Not the most fuel efficient. I normally see around 14 to 16km/l for daily riding. 20 to 21 on long hauls.

MMMM makes one thinks. With my dakkie I get between 23 and 27 km/l. Fill up after every 3 days
