Hey y'all
so i been riding a 82 virago for awhile and its a POS. I want to get a harley but have a limited budget say 8k.
My question is... i'm 6'4" and 250lbs.
I've been looking at the sporster 883's my question is ? will i look dumb on a bike like this or will it be to small for my frame?
Appreciate you input

Just my opinion but I think you would look like a monkey f@%king a football on a hugger, no offense whatsoever. Have you considered looking at a used bike. I think you might be able to buy a used softtail or maybe a used police road king for not much more than that. I think you would outgrow that 883 in about a week. Just my opinion.

I have a XL1200C and it fits me great. But I'm 5'8" and 126lbs.
Given your height and weight I think you are likely to find it uncomfortable. Particularly if you have a long inside leg measurement.
I agree with the above comments. Try some of the bigger bikes and when wait for a quality second hand bike within your budget.
