The Harley-Davidson Forty Eight was last officially priced at ₹13,49,000 ex-showroom across India. On-road prices ranged from ₹15,20,609 (Delhi / Chennai) to ₹16,83,599 (Bangalore), with the gap driven primarily by state-level road tax differences - Karnataka's premium motorcycle tax is notably high.

Here is what the on-road pricing included at the time of sale:
- **Ex-showroom price:** ₹13,49,000
- **Road Tax (RTO):** ₹1,15,920 to ₹2,50,820 (varies by state)
- **Comprehensive insurance:** ₹42,199
- **TCS (1%):** ₹13,490

The Forty Eight is no longer manufactured or sold new anywhere in the world. Harley-Davidson discontinued the entire Evo-powered Sportster lineup after the 2022 model year globally and April 2023 in India, citing the shift to the Revolution Max engine platform.

**Used market prices (2026 estimate):**
- BS4 examples (2018-2019): ₹7-9 lakh
- BS6 examples (2020-2022): ₹9-12 lakh
- Low-mileage, dealer-certified BS6: ₹11-13 lakh

The used market is active in metro cities - Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and Hyderabad have the highest supply of pre-owned examples. Prices have held up reasonably well given the cult following, but supply will increase as owners upgrade to newer Harley models.

For the used buyer, a Hero MotoCorp-certified pre-owned Harley example is the safest bet - these go through inspection and carry some form of warranty. Independent dealers may offer lower prices but come with fewer guarantees around service history.

## Variant-wise Ex-showroom Price
| Variant | Price |
|---------|-------|
| Standard | ₹ 13,51,149 |

Note: Prices are ex-showroom. On-road price varies by city (RTO charges, insurance, etc.).

If you are buying used, budget ₹1-1.5 lakh over the purchase price for insurance (own damage + third-party), a fresh service, and any pending consumables like brake pads, chain, or tyres. Extended warranty from Harley through Hero MotoCorp centres is worth considering if available - the Evolution engine is proven and reliable, but being on the right side of a warranty matters once bikes cross 30,000 km. Always insist on the original service booklet and cross-check service records at the nearest Hero-Harley authorized service centre before committing.
