1994 Harley-Davidson 883cc XLH Sportster

1994 Harley-Davidson 883cc XLH Sportster
Registration no. L78 XNV
Frame no. 1HD4CAM152RY211614
Engine no. *CAMR211614*

In 1982 Harley-Davidson introduced a new welded frame, replacing the traditional lugged type in use hitherto, and then four years later H-D introduced of two new Sportsters: the XLH-883 and XLH-1100, the former being a more affordable base model intended to attract new customers. At the same time Harley-Davidson's new all-alloy Evolution engine became available in the ever-popular Sportster, the model having recently been up-graded with Harley's diaphragm clutch, alternator electrics and a five-speed gearbox. The new Sportster was initially offered in 883cc and 1,100cc sizes, the latter being opened out to 1,200cc for 1988.

This XLH Sportster was gifted to our vendor by Harley-Davidson following an event he helped to organise for them; it came with a race kit, and the vendor took it to the South of France to use there. The Harley was acquired on 27th May 1994 and the vendor is the first keeper as recorded on the accompanying V5C. Last taxed until April 2004, and with only 1,175 miles recorded, the Harley will require recommissioning and/or restoration to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. The Sportster is offered with a quantity of spares that were included with the machine when acquired, including wheels and exhaust. Additional documentation consists of old MoTs dating from August 1997, April 2001, May 2002 and April 2003.
