@ Brave | Yes maintenance cost is on the higher side as it is a HD. I have recently bought it( I too bought it second hand😆) and I don't have an Idea of reliability but I bought it when it was 48000 km (approx) so I don't think that it is an unreliable bike..😃😃😃

They are extremely reliable bikes. My 2015 iron has 110,000 miles on it. It's my primary mode of transportation and has been for several years. A few things are starting to wear out. I just replaced the clutch and drive belt, but with that many miles I can't complain. My iron is the most durable piece of equipment I have ever owned and I will definitely be buying another Harley, but not until both wheels fall off of this one. P.s. every one of those 110k miles was riding it as fast as it would go..... most dependable bike ever

But obvious its a Harley, maintaining is no issue but yes high cost of service. Used 883 motorcycles are there for a reason the oil tank is too small, i personally feel there is a lot of vibration n heat but it could be that the owner is upgrading.

Its an extremely reliable bike. Being a HD, maintenance costs are a bit high, but the Iron 883 has been around for decades. And its on every website coz ppl love to buy this beauty, even if it is second/third hand.

What would be a fair price if a 883 iron 2015 model driven for 22K kms is to be bought?
