I have had 4 bikes in 11 years. No I have the Ultimate Ultra. A 2012 CVO Ultra. The best bike I have owned. The most comfortable and enjoyable to ride. 11,000 miles in 8 mos. I think I will be the first after Niatram. Ride safe everyone and rack up the miles.
Did 11,000 plus last month going to Alaska.  Only 60,000 on my '09.  Now if Isaac will go away I can keep on having a nice summer and fall.

I have over 120,000 miles on my 2002 E-Glide and 22,000 on my 2011. These bikes are not CVO's. I've never seen a high mileage 110 crank motor. I think mostly because the guys that have them trade often and or don't ride everyday to keep them around long enough to get that kind of miles. But I'm sure there are some out there.

Nai, on my 02 bike. I put gear driven cams in it in the winter of 03. The older cam chain tensioners would have never made it that long. I saved and bought parts for a couple of years, like a new take off set of stock 08 heads {06 they changed the heads for the better} and a set of stock low mileage rocker arm assembly that a guy replaced with SE. I kept them in boxes for a couple of years knowing I would do a top end one day. I had over 100k on the bike when I went ahead and put 95" flat top pistons in it. I used a .030" head gasket with the stock heads. New push rods and lifters. So I freshen up the whole top end of the motor. Only for the Stator to go out finally around 115k LoL.

62K on my '10 SEUC, bought in December '09.  Should have 100K in April, 2014.  No plans on trading in.  However, that time may get pushed out if I buy another CVO for around town and solo trips.  ESP is not up until December 2014, so I'll probably be riding this one hard.  I also have lifetime service plan, so it's money not out of pocket to ride this one.

How did you get that? and how much did it cost, I'm thinking it would have saved me a bunch to get that one. I got mine on Easter weekend, and have 17k on it already.

50k on a bike is a great rarity.

Im going to guesstimate that less than 10% of Harleys ever see that mileage on the original engine and less than 5% of metrics.

I was putting about 10k on my bike, sold my truck to pay for the misses education, so now I put about 15k a year on.

I have a friend with a Yamaha Tour Deluxe, he has 85k on and it still purrs right along.

Ive seen several Goldwings with over 150k.

My misses has 45k on her 07 RKC.

Im hoping for 100k on my 06 SEUC.

I have 130,000 on my '00 FLTRSEI.
I like it so much that when I saw another '00 FLTRSEI with only 14,000 miles, same orange/white/black paint, I bought it too. Put 6,000 miles on it in the last 4 months.

I put 120,000 on my '88 FXR, and my wife put 90,000 on her sportster before we traded it in on an E-glide. She has 53,000 on it now. Too many miles and too many bikes to go any further back than that.

FINALLY, we have a winner! I knew there had to be someone out there. Congrats and how about a few photos of your horse?
