This issue of Motorcycle Consumer News has road tested the new Harley 883 and the way they brought their point to mind about its lack of power was to compare it to the burgman scooter. I own an 04' Burgman 650 and have ridden many harleys including the 1200 sportster and the 883. I don't know where they get their comparison but I can assure there isn't an 883 without the 1200 upgrade that will come near my scoot in a 0 to 100 race. Get the two on a back road in Eastern CT and after a 15 mile sidestand scraping run I would have time for my engine to cool down before Mr 883 came huffing and puffing to the end of the road. The 650 Burg holds its own in most ways except dragracing against my sons sv650. I take offense to the article Re my Burgmanusa.com handle... scooterracer
