Harley Davidson Iron 883 Insurance

Harley Davidson Iron 883 is one of the three bikes in its sportster line-up. Iron 883 is all about muscle & looks. It is not covered in chrome unlike its other counter parts however what it gets is attitude & tones of it. Harley is bringing these bikes in India via CKD route thus making these bikes relatively affordable to own in India.

Iron 883 looks good in all 3 colour options which are Olive Gold, Charcoal Denim & Black Denim.
In all these trim there is minimalistic chrome which is unlike Harley but instead it makes it up by having that attitude.

Braking & Handling:

Iron 883 is a heavy bike. However, once it starts rolling it forgets it’s a 260+kg bike. Straight line stability is great. It also handles long sweeping corners brilliantly. However, become too aggressive with the corners & you will start scraping foot pegs. Bike has 39mm telescopic forks in the front & Dual shock absorbers at the rear. It rides on 100/90 19’ front & 130/90 16’ rear wheels.

The seating position on Iron 883 is low with a slight reach to the handlebars.
It is well proportionate for riders of low to medium height.
Iron 883 gets a single 300mm disc brake in front & a 260mm single disc at the rear.
The bike sadly misses out on ABS.

What Insurance cover to opt for:

Iron 883 is an all American cruiser with tonnes of attitude. All its parts have to be imported & the repair bill runs high. It is important to have an insurance cover which can get you through costly repairs in case of a crash as well as in the unfortunate case of theft.

A premium product like Iron 883 needs 0% depreciation insurance as it goes a long way in keeping the repair bills down in case of a fall.
It is a good idea to have an insurance that gives you complete cover from theft as a premium is a thief magnet.
Always prefer an insurance that gives you cashless benefit.
