Harley-Davidson Iron 883 keeps an estimated 67% of its value after 5 years — #499 of 1052 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Harley-Davidson Iron 883 retains an estimated 67% of its value after five years, ranking #499 of 1052 powersports vehicles we track. That trails the 73% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Harley-Davidson Iron 883 sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $10,849 it falls to around $7,257 by year five — a five-year loss near $3,592, about $1.97 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Harley-Davidson Iron 883 bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
