all I have to same is a 1200cc Harley is very evenly matched with a america a 883cc will be very under powered. I ride a lot with a friend that has a nightster and some times he gets away from me and some times i get away from him its all about what gear who was in. The only thing he has me on is very high end he pulls away at 85mph. I have never read a review were anyone was happy with the 883
