What I seem to see with the CVO Touring bikes is either High milage or very low.

I saw two 2018's CVOs side by side on sales floor, my trade 25000 miles next to one with 1700 miles.

I think the dealerships use the high mileage on the CVO so they can give you a lowball price on trade in.

Bought mine used in 2015 with 5000 miles. It has 74,000 miles now. Last year was a record year for me with 26,000 miles. Trying to hit 30,000 this year.

EDIT:

Whoops, didn't realize I replied to this a few months ago :)

62,000 on 2013 King. I bought the bike used in May 2015 with 5000 miles.

I purchased a 18 last August, but starting out with the mileage was slow. It took me 6 months for the first 1000, mainly impacted by the price. I it the most expensive vehicle I've ever owned. After the 1k it took me about 6 months to put another 4 k on it. In July after the 5k service I have taken longer day trips, which now after the sticker shock has wore off and a new seat (Danny Gray IST solo air) and new bars (Yaffe 12 Monkey bars) the bike is very comfortable for me to ride. I now have almost have 8K on it, that's about 1k a month now.  I think the big topic is motivation, I had a 11 Victory Vision and put over 75k on it in 6 years, but an accident and learning the differences (bought a 17 RGS an hour after the accident) between the bikes I have owned has really caused me to get motivated to ride. At some point a decision needs to be made if you are going to look at it or ride it. The bike is going to depreciate no matter what I do, so why not have fun with it.

My '06 has 100K on it.

I buy motorcycles to ride, not as an investment. To me there is nothing sadder than a bike with low miles for sale. I understand health changes and folks stop riding, that I get. I also understand buying a lemon, and quickly selling a lemon. But to choose NOT to ride to "keep the mileage down for the next buyer", is like saying I'm not having sex with my girlfriend so she'll be pretty and not used up for the next guy.

But I could be wrong.

My 2018 FLHTK has about 46K on it.  I looked at trading it in, but that didn't go too far.  Oh well.  I guess I'll just keep riding.

Yes, I'm averaging about 2k per month and I live in a state with winters...

Best post of the thread...

I thought I had posted to this thread already. I've got roughly 140k since 2003. almost all of it riding in circles on a rock or two in the middle of the ocean.

I spent 4 years unable to ride and the last year have gotten back in the saddle racking up 12k. My peak 22k/year.

I bought my first CVO in 09. traded in 2012, the bike sat from September '14 to October '17 with 38k and got traded... the '18 I currently ride  sat upstairs at the dealer for 9 long moths while I recuperated from spinal surgery.

Needless to say getting back in the saddle wasn't the easiest thing to do but it felt so damn good after just about 4 years.

I'll keep riding them..
