Kawasaki Ninja 650 - 2026 vs Harley-Davidson Iron 883 Comparison

The Ninja 650 may be a middleweight, but it feels like a small bike, and it doesn't have the intake roar or exhaust note associated with a high-performance motorcycle. It feels at ease handling traffic, and is equally comfortable on the highway, if you're in the mood for occasional long-distance touring. If you're looking to upgrade from a smaller bike, or you're new to motorcycling, the Kawasaki Ninja 650 could well be all the bike you need.

The Harley-Davidson Iron 883 offers the classic appeal of an all-American cruiser motorcycle. Despite the fact that Harley-Davidson does not have official presence in India anymore, its motorcycles are still on sale and that includes the Iron 883. It is one of the more accessible models from Harley but has engine heating issues and is heavy too. Although its low seat height and decent performance are relevant for a new owner joining the Harley family.
