Riding CVO's
« on: April 11, 2019, 09:45:42 AM »

I just read an article where CVO owners don't put the miles on their bikes that other HD touring owners do...This is my third HD touring ride and my first CVO...the first two, I rode the piss out of them. I can't see where this one will be any different. Over on the Harley Davidson Forums, there are guys with over 100k miles on 2014 and newer TK's.

What kind of miles are the CVO owners here rolling on??

sounds like #FakeNews to me

Fake news or not, the fact is MANY Harleys barely get ridden...lot's of bikes barely get ridden...hell, lot's of boats and motor homes barely get out of the yard. It's a fact of recreational vehicle ownership. I know lots guys with bikes that have dry rot tires of all variety.

So the question remains, How many of our loyal membership rack up miles and what about members who have low mile bikes.

It's a legit question.

Over the years I've probably averaged 4 to 5K a year until I went to my 1st CVO. My 2011 SESG I averaged about 6500 miles a year. In the last 16 months on my current CVO I have a little over 14,000 miles. I am kind of a fair weather rider and it does rain quite a bit here around Seattle but when the weather cooperates it's gorgeous. I must say I love this new bike.
Keep in mind for ME, I rarely ride to work as it's less than 3 miles each way and I'm on commission in the retail world so I rarely get time off but average 7 to 10 days a year of unpaid vacation and a few 3 day weekends.

Did I say I love my current ride?  :2vrolijk_21:

I agree with rayson56. I live 7 miles from work, plus work was on-base being in the Air Force I don't like all the riding rules they have.
So not riding to work as some people do knocks out a lot of riding days and miles. I get out on bike nights, weekends and vacations.
Having said that I just retired so I plan to put more miles on in the future...I have owned my 2013 for 4 years now and have 20,000 on it. Only put 250 miles on it last year having moved twice.

I traded my 2015 CVO Limited on a 2019 CVO Limited a couple of weeks ago.  I had over 56,000 miles on it and only major problem was a water pump replacement around 40K.

I hope I get the same or better results with the M8, 117 engine.

2015 CVO Road glide ultra traded with 44K miles on it
2017 CVO street glide, traded with 21350 miles on it

I've got 50k on my CVO Ultra Classic and I've rode it coast to coast, Mexico and Canada.

My observation is that CVO owners ride further than owners of standard models.  I've rode through many states with many members of this forum since 2003.  Wow, 15 years!  Get to know em and you'll ride long distances with em, too!

Looking for GeorgeW right now. He's at 97k miles on His '16 SERGU. I normally average about 10k per year up here in the snow belt.

I used to ride every day to work but now I can't so I have lost miles.  I usually go about 10K a year.  It may mix it up between bikes but I don't not ride mine because it is a CVO.  My riding habits are the same and as mentioned above my wife and I ride more.  We got into the CVO for a better experience on the rode.
