Sportster Engined – 1984 Honda “XL883”

In America, Custom, Japan by AbhiLeave a Comment

It’s a hybrid of “XL” bikes – the engine from a Harley-Davidson XL883 shoved into a (modified) frame from a Honda XL250R. Madness!

The original Honda motor put out about 17 horsepower, while the replacement Harley heart is good for approximately 57. That’s obviously quite a bump, though the weight of this entire rig has gone up as well. There isn’t much detail given on this one so it’ll require a phone call (or ideally an in person visit), but it’s said to be street legal under a 1984 Honda XL250R title and everything apparently works.
