Question: what is the difference between a harley davidson sportster?
Answer: Simply put, the 1200 Sportster engine has a bit more material and weighs slightly more than the 883 engine; the difference in weight is too small though to make a significant effect on performance. If you have an 883 Sportster and you want to turn it into a 1200 Sportster, some shops are able to do it for a price.
