XL50#366 is an unknown quantity at this point
Hi yall....

This is my first post so here it goes...I own a 2007 XL50 and i am located in Louisiana. I first bought an 883C last year and once i heard about the anniversary edition, i just had to have it. Luckily they had one at the dealer here and within 24hrs i had the 1200..man its so much better...anyways...i look foward to asking a lot of questions and hopefully learning quite a bit from everyone else....peace...

Cool Re: Hi yall....

Hey how fast will an 883 go, and how much do you weigh I want to make sure it will carry my big butt. I have ridden Harley's all my life and most have been bigger bikes, i get great deals on parts and bikes too.

Smile Re: Hi yall....

well i weigh about 220lbs and its not nearly as fast as the 1200 in my opinion...i like the the look of the peanut tank and i had bought one with the custom tank...although sometimes i think the bigger tank is better no matter what...anyways the 1200 is super fast (and a little harder to handle) and now that i put some pipes..its even faster...good luck and happy riding...

plenty quick enough - the gearing on the 883 means it has a little better accel lower down than the 1200 but the 1200 will just pull and pull once its rolling.
top end is neither bikes strong points if you want that buy the Buell which is just mental fast.
on my reckoning with 190lbs of them
883 carb - 115mph on the clock
1200 carb - 120mph on the clock
1200FI - 120 mph on the clock
1203thunderstorm XB12 - 140mph on the clock

XL50 welcome to the forum
