Harley-Davidson Forty Eight On-Road Price in Kochi (Kerala) - 2026
The on-road price of Harley-Davidson Forty Eight in Kochi, Kerala is ₹15,16,366. This is the total amount you would have paid at an authorised Harley-Davidson dealer in Kochi before the model was discontinued in April 2023. The on-road price breaks down as follows:
Ex-showroom price: ₹13,51,149 This is the manufacturer's base price - the same across all states. The Forty Eight had a single Standard variant with no price variation between colours or options.
Road Tax (RTO): ₹1,08,092 Road tax in Kerala is charged at 8% of the ex-showroom price. This is one of the biggest variable costs between cities - Karnataka (Bangalore) has one of the highest road tax rates in India for premium motorcycles, while Delhi and Tamil Nadu are more moderate. The RTO charge is a one-time payment made at registration.
Insurance (comprehensive): ₹53,625 This covers third-party liability (mandatory by law) and own-damage coverage for the bike. Pricing is per IRDAI guidelines for the 1202 cc engine class. For subsequent years, expect annual premiums to decrease as the bike depreciates.
Other charges: ₹3,500 Includes dealer handling, documentation, and temporary registration charges.
Total on-road price in Kochi: ₹15,16,366
