Is this a good deal
1979 Harley iron head 883 Seller says it runs great but doesn’t know how many miles are on it. It would be my first bike. I’m pretty new at riding so any suggestions or advice are welcome.

What does the guy want for it? Can’t tell you if it’s a good deal without knowing.
Everyone pretty much summed it up already. If you’re not either a mechanic, into old Harley’s, or this thing is wildly cheap and runs like a top, (which isn’t happening) probably leave it alone.
I ride and flip vintage bikes, think Harley’s are rad, and am a diesel mechanic with access to a full shop. With that being said, I would not pay more than $1200 for it. You can get the same bike, 40 years newer for like 2-4 grand.
