I've turned in 12,260 since 10/2/03 (14 months).


At Ray Price we have a customer who recently brought his '04 FLHTC in for service with ~24k miles on the clock. I thought that was respectable mileage for an '04, so I decided to look up his purchase date. As it turns out, he purchased the bike 6/24/04- less than six months ago. At that rate he'll break 50k miles inside of the first year.

Hkwan,

I really don't think that I've had too many problems considering if you put it into perspective, that I have about 20 yrs of mileage on it according to the general populous.

Ski, no that's on my FXR2. Still, I've been able to see 31 states so far on two wheels! Even though it hasn't been on a Buell I have a lot of great memories and a few not so great. Most of those miles were with my favorite hippie Buell salesman if that counts for anything!!

Thats some great mileage on the bikes! Had 29,900 on my old XB9R before it got totaled in late sept. Only two problems the oil lines rubbed and a rotor issue. The bike was great to me and I believe the next one will be also. I hope to keep up with you high mileage riders. Keep it up Ski and Sparky. I had less than 500 miles on interstate hwy. the rest in the mountains, on back roads, and small two lane rds. I can't wait to start putting miles on the new bike. The most miles in one day was Glitch and I put about 675 in one day no Interstate Hwy. Ouch on the rump!

Glitch,

Only about another 2k before you have to worry about a new engine...J/K

Hope you don't have to go through what I went through.

Think I should just park it now, and trade it in before it happens?

Sweet profile picture! Looks like we like the same kind of riding.

Here I was pretty proud of the 84K I've put on my Valk until I saw Sparky's post. Darn you! 170K on 3 Buells is awfully impressive.

Of course, now that you all have infected me with the Buellbug, my Valk may never see 100K.
