Default 2020 Sportster Iron 883

Hello all. I’m considering trading my 2018 Street Rod 750 - XG750A - for a 2020 Sportster Iron 883. My bike is fabulous for me; mileage is 15,600. The 883 has 538, which means it was barely ridden (could be a bad sign).

Chime in with your thoughts. Thanks!

Low mileage is not usually a negative, lots of these bikes are purchased and hardly ever used.
The only judgements and thoughts here that matter are yours, so take the 883 for a test ride and see what you think.
You didn't mention price, so if that's not a consideration I think you'll be able to make the decision.

Thank you. Dealer is asking $9500; I’ll need to research. But I’ve known my dealership for a very long time; great people and I trust them.

Cheers!
