The Harley-Davidson Sportster S is priced at Rs 18,05,000 (ex-showroom) for the standard colour variants and Rs 18,21,500 for the Vivid Black. These are pan-India ex-showroom prices - what you actually pay on the road varies significantly by state due to differing RTO rates and insurance premiums.

When budgeting for a Sportster S, factor in more than just the on-road price. Comprehensive insurance for a premium motorcycle of this displacement typically costs Rs 40,000-55,000 per year. Servicing every 8,000 km runs Rs 12,000-15,000 at an authorised Harley dealership. Harley-Davidson's service network in India covers major cities but is thinner outside metros - worth checking dealer proximity if you ride long distances. There are currently no significant exchange bonuses on this model, but end-of-year offers from dealerships have occasionally included complimentary accessories worth Rs 20,000-30,000.
