Default 883 Xl 2006- Deal

I am checking this bike 883 sportster 2006 with 14300 miles. Is this too much milage for a 883?
It is from a bike dealer, not HD. 30days guarantee.
This bike rode more than 2000 miles per year!
I am afraid to buy it and the bike start to fell apart. The cost is $ 3700.00 out of the door price.
I leave 10 minutes for this dealer.
What do you think?

That is not bad mileage, assuming that it has been maintained.

Maintenance is key. The miles are low. The EVO 883 has a good 100K miles in it before ant major work may need to be done. I know of a 2004 with over 144K miles that still runs like the day he bought it. Again, simple maintenance is the key...

I had a 2006 883 and it was a great bike, never had a single issue with it. If you buy it I would have all the maintenance done on it and all the bolts/brakes checked, ect.

I ended up putting road king air shocks and progressive springs in the front to improve the suspension. It is a fun bike with plenty of power.
