2007 Harley-Davidson XL883R Sportster R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2007 Harley-Davidson XL883R Sportster R features a 882.7 cc (53.9 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 74.6 Nm (55 lb-ft) at 3,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 76.2 x 96.8 mm (3.0 x 3.8 inches) with a 8.9:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the XL883R Sportster R measures 266.7 kg (588 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 759 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,524 mm (60 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 12.49-liter (3.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.94 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 317 km (197 miles) between fill-ups.
