Harley-Davidson® Iron™ 883 vs Triumph Bonneville T120

2021 Harley-Davidson® Iron™ 883 vs 2022 Triumph Bonneville T120
It's once again the United States vs the British Kingdom as two of the world's most iconic motorcycle brands go head-to-head. A 2021 Harley-Davidson® Iron™ 883 vs 2022 Triumph Bonneville T120 comparison pits classic Americana for British artistry and is serving Stuart Port St. Lucie Fort Pierce Vero Beach customers with a quick way to find out which of these motorcycles is the most capable and attractive. Always up for a game of wits, both brands bring their A-game and keep a few other tricks up their sleeves just in case.

Style
A cruiser needs to really look like a cruiser, and only the Iron™ 883 looks like it's up for some upscale fun with a serious slant toward kicking up some dust. The overall shape of both motorcycles is extremely different and a reflection of their heritage. The Iron™ 883 descends from Harley-Davidson®'s amazing line of classic motorcycles, while the 2022 Triumph Bonneville T120 is serving Stuart Port St. Lucie Fort Pierce Vero Beach with another kind of attraction. They're from different worlds, but most people will prefer the 2021 Iron™ 883 for its strong Americana heritage, blacked-out features, tank art straight from the streets, and Tuck and Roll seat. If you're a fan of the bobber's first appearances in America, the Iron™ 883 is an excellent choice. The very-British 2022 Triumph Bonneville T120 is so far away from that world that you can't really compare these two.

Handling
The Triumph Bonneville T120 tends to stick to its British roots on suspension systems, too, and that's means a much less sophisticated ride than anything offered in the H-D® line. Sure, you're going to get a motorcycle that handles well and even much better than the majority of bikes out there. The 2021 Iron™ 883 is not just another bike out there, though. It features a patented low seat and slammed suspension system for handling that's out of this world and far ahead of the competition.

Grip
Let's face a reality on most bikes in this class: your handlebars matter. On the Iron™ 883, you get a classic set of Drag-Style handlbars equipped with amazing mirrors at just the right height to stay out of your way for viewing scenery. You'll love the reflector lights tacked on, too, as they're both practical and stylish. H-D® describes the bar as a "slammed black drag-style handlebar" that takes you back to the "old-school garage." And with a forward riding position, you've got an outstanding outlook on the world from on top of your Iron™ 883 throne.

Winner: 2021 Harley-Davidson® Iron™ 883
The Triumph Bonneville T120 is an icon back where it's from, too. British riders, however, are in short supply in our area. For those who've grown up on the grit and power of H-D® motorcycles, the Triumph Bonneville may be too much of a culture shock to really appreciate for what it is. And that's fine. It has its fans as well and will never have a shortage of buyers. For those who prefer classic American bikes, you can't go wrong by choosing the Iron™ 883. Its 883 air-cooled Evolution engine provides a comfortable 53,8 ft-lb of torque and lean angles of 27 degrees (right) and 28 degrees (left). With an alert, upstanding riding position, you'll always have a beautiful view of the city landscapes or the sunsets of the highway.
