And yes, stood up alongside their bigger, brasher brothers, they are remarkably easy to walk past. But hey, that’s not the XLH883’s fault, it’s ours … and our rucksack full of preconceptions. Because outside of that showroom, out on the street, where any bike really belongs, the XLH883 easily holds its own. And in more ways than one:

The most obvious place to start a roadtest on this particular Sporty is always the asking price (and often, sadly, that’s where most ‘professional’ appraisals finish too), but I’ll come to the price last, the XLH883 really deserves a much better look than that.
