Sportster riders get laughed at enough as it is by the Harley guys that know what one looks like. (So I've heard.)

Harley isn't ready to get the accountant and doctors that don't know what a Sporty looks like in on the joke without asking, quite yet.

That is to say. "I don't know, but wished to inject this topic with some humor."

883 is the engine size in cubic centimeters. (.883L)

Probably for the same reason that my bike doesn't say 1450.
Nobody cares.
