Pros and Cons Of Buying A Used Harley Davidson 883

Welcome To Harley Davidson Accessories Guide blog.

The best year to buy a used Harley Davidson  883 is 2007 and up. That is the year they applied electronic sequential port  fuel injection.  It means at highway speed you can go 100 miles approx between refueling.

 If you want you can replace the 2 gallon tank with K tank or presently there are large custom easy change tanks kits available if you want  a bigger fuel holder. Sportster 883 bikes manufactured during that year started being more advanced and reliable, providing smoother rides which is the result when Harley engineers began rubber mounting the engines and isolated them from the chassis.  There is no more of the vibration problems of old technology.

       A lot of people debate about what to buy, a new or used Harley Davidson Sporster? Here are the pros and cons:

Pros of buying a Used Harley Davidson Sporster:

      

       - You scan thru any newspaper or craigslist, you will see a ton of used Harley bikes. You absolutely have plenty of options to choose from.

      

       -It’s  cheaper compared to buying new ones. Although Harley bikes don’t depreciate as much compared to other brands, but they still do ….a little.

      

       -The bikes have been pretty much pimped out already, like exhaust upgrades, so no need to buy aftermarket parts.

      

       --In some areas, you don’t have to pay purchase tax when you buy from a private individual. This alone can save you a grand.

      

       --Buy it used like Harley police-fire dept. bikes, not as expensive but they already are Advanced Braking System (ABS) installed way before civilians did. Especially if ABS is really that important to you.

      

       If you are mechanically inclined like when handling wrenches for example, then you shouldn’t have a problem distinguishing between the good used bikes from the harshly treated used ones.

The cons:

       -There is no standard two year warranty of unlimited mileage. You better have deeper pockets when things go awry.

      

       -You don’t want someone else’s problems.

      

       -If you buy new and want to deck it out, you have to start from the ground and prepare to spend extra large ones for aftermarket parts like seats, exhausts, etc.
