Depending on the year of the bike, Harley's model numbers don't necessarily reflect the engine size. Harley used CI instead of CC to designate their engines. Only recently has Harley began to publish the CCs of their engines. Because Harley is built in America they used the standard unit of measurement Cubic Inches for their engines. Japanese bikes have used Cubic Centimeters for their engines.
Currently a Harley Sportster 883 is a 53.86 ci or a 883cc Evolution engine.

This will be a surprise to some people who know me, for I have no use for the"Big Twins" except to work on them for customers. But - I could be induced to ride a Sportster. They are the only real motorcycles Harley makes, in my definition of a motorcycle. And I believe many Metric riders feel the same way. We do not want a bike which looks like it was magnatized and run through a Western Auto Store, (this was an old description, when I was a youngster - no offence, Western Auto), we want a good handling, quick accelerating, quick stopping bike, that likes crooked roads. If we want to go somewhere in air conditioned, cushy comfort, we will take the car. We do not want to carry everything, including the kitchen sink(see previous statement). We want a bike which feels good dicing into corners on a crooked road, is easy to handle in traffic, gets decent gas mileage, and even if we are not "hot rodders" feels good when the handle is rolled on. And I would not agree that they are totally gutless, (Not a 1200, at any rate). Suspect their power to weight ratio is better than a big twin. If not, I can sure fix that. I have said my piece, now you "Harley is God" folks have your fun. Tomcotexas.

Yes 883 cc is the compression or the cubic inch of the engine

Leave it to Honda (Cbr 919, 929, 954) and Harley not to round up, and now Kawasaki's doing it (Zx636).......

883cc its based on the size of the motor.
Here's a Harley's web page that goes over each motor.
