2009 Harley Davidson 883 Sportster

This 883 got the 1200 big-bore kit treatment—a cheap way to add serious grunt to an already bulletproof platform, and at $6K with fresh rubber and a clean title, you're looking at entry-level Harley money for something with actual performance upside. If you understand that a modded Sporty is way more fun than stock and way cheaper than a used 1200, this is the play.
