Technically yes, but not really. I rode some 2018ish 883 a few years ago on a dealership test ride, don't remember much. Honestly do some research lol, at this point there isn't much to say about these bikes that hasn't already been said. I got a solid mount because I wanted to try out a V-Twin and I appreciate raw motorcycles. No abs, no traction control, no wheelie control, no rider modes, your ass doesn't even get fuel injection. You're lucky to get a rev limiter. These bikes are air-cooled, carbureted, straightforward machines. And unlike what fortnine said in his Harley video, maybe that was something that's different with big twins but this thing does not get smooth at speed. It shakes a lot at every rpm. It sharts oil out of the intake, it makes awful power for the displacement, and there's no underseat storage. It's definitely not for everyone. I recommend you take a solid mount for a test drive, and if you don't like what it is, then honestly you shouldn't get a sportster. Japanese bikes are absolutely built better, and good used metric cruisers are every bit as cheap as the solid mounts these days.
