Q. Which is the best one 1.Scout bobber 2 Harley 48 3 Truimph Bobber?

Answer

All bikes are good in their own forte. The bike features a liquid-cooled, V-Twin 1133cc engine with a closed loop fuel-injection system that makes out a max power of 94hp and a peak torque of 97Nm at 5,600rpm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The Bobber gets a raw look with a blacked-out engine, frame, exhaust, handlebars, and mirrors. With the least amount of chrome, the bobber looks absolutely dashing. It is equipped with a dual-tone leather seat, minimalist LED tail lamp, chopped front, and rear fenders, and black cast aluminum wheels. There are a black analog single pod and an all-new Indian Scout badge on the fuel tank. If you want to go for a better fit and finish, you may opt for Indian Scout Bobber but the after-sales services are a bit of a concern. On the other hand, the new Harley Davidson Forty-Eight is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor. Torque and weight have remained unchanged. Distinctive features include a low solo seat, under-mounted mirrors, side mount license plate, clean rear fender and tall and fat front tire, new front fork sliders, a tall and fat front tire, and slammed rear suspension, With Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), shorty dual exhaust, forward foot controls, low profile custom handlebar, fork-mounted turn signals, slammed speedometer mounting bracket and fork brace with lightening holes. Harley Davidson's after-sales services are better than Indian. And the Triumph Bonneville Bobber features the old-school hardtail look with bobbed fenders and a floating single-piece seat suspended on a cantilever spring system, which can be moved forward or backward to suit the rider’s height. It retains its stainless steel slash-cut exhausts. A dash of the modern appeal comes with full-LED lighting, a semi-digital instrument cluster, ride-by-wire, and two riding modes. Besides, cruise control also comes standard.

Question 8

Q. Which is best between Forty Eight, Iron 883 and Custom?

Answer

All these bikes are good enough. The Sportster 1200 Custom is the latest entrant to the Harley-Davidson India portfolio and replaced the Sportster 883 that was discontinued from our market. It is powered by the same 1,200cc V-twin motor as seen as on the Forty-Eight and with the Sportster 1200 Custom, the American bikemaker will be targeting mature riders in the hunt for a relaxed mile muncher. As compare to Forty Eight, it gets a way big fuel tank and as it gets spoke wheels, it is more comfortable and suitable for cruising. Forty Eight, the nightster is unlike your normal Harley which swims in a pond of chrome. The nighster is all about stealth with matte-finish a no polished surface. If we talk about Harley Davidson Iron 883, it is basic and a budget way into Harley ownership. Also, it has comparatively better ground clearance and it is more suitable for both city and highway rides as compared to the other two. Check out authorised dealership details.

Question 9

Q. I am 5 feet 8 inch. How comfortable do you think Harley Davidson Forty Eight will be for me?

Answer

Harley Davidson Forty Eight has a saddle height of 710mm which is pretty much comfortable for a rider of height 5.8 ft. But the bike weighs around 252 kg which is quite heavy so the rider needs to be professional and experienced otherwise he/she might feel difficulties in manoeuvring while passing the city and its traffic. Moreover, we'd recommend taking a test ride of the bike for a better insight into the performance, comfort, and compatibility. Follow the link for dealership details - Bike Showrooms.

Question 11

Q. Which is better Forty eight or Iron 883?

Answer

Iron883 very nice bibike

Answer

Wanna need suggestions about harley 48 vs bonvillie bobber triumph

Answer

Iron 883 is more of a controlled ride and forty eight is more of a ride over riders take, iron 883cc engine is more decent and keep under controlled type of bike, while the 1200cc of the forty eight is a more faster engine, both are good at short rides and a little bit of cruising, but if you have a really good 6 lines highway and a large distance to cover everyday i would recommend you to take a look at the softail family which is updated now, it has good collection , but for India they have provided only 4 bikes this 2020, so in short for if you are planning to get the sportster (iron, or forty eight or roadster or 1200custom they sure are good round town bikes and for local errands, ) if you are doing 100+ speeds on the highway along with your sporty bike riders, i would strongly recommend you to take a look at the softail family.

Question 13

Q. What is the service cost of Fourty Eight?

Answer

It solely depend upon you, For example if you love to ride often or only for weekend ride,Generally HD call for service after 6months or around 4,000 kms done (people go after 6months where tough to cross 4,000kms if you are doing weekend rides)Maintained cost roughly 8K-11K (except any major parts changes)using Iron for daily use is not wise in city like Bangalore due to air cooled engine & almost all these heavy machine heated up like anything in traffic.
