150k on mine and I just got back from a 1400 mile ride to Rolling Thuder with no problems at all. BTW, I run castrol GTX 20W50 CAR oil and change it every 2500 miles. No smoke, no compression loss and still running smooth. Buddy had his EVO remanned at 238k because it smoked a little on startup when cold.
Ride safe

You should get at least 100K on a top-end so long as you aren't out there drag racing or beating the crap out of your bike. The bottom end should last longer. It all comes down to your maintenance. Take care of your bike and it will last. Do your basic oil/filter/trans fluid/primary oil changes on a regular basis and you can ride for some serious miles. Beat on it and you will do repairs regularly.

Wow this was an old thread - a year and a half ago and my response to it back then was that my '05 EGC had 66k on it and was running great. That bike got totalled one year later almost to the day with 92k on it and was still running great.
I'm now on the '09 RK and am approaching 13k without a single hiccup. These bikes will run and run and run if you keep after the maintenance... 100-150k+ on top end and 200k or more on bottom end before a tear-down.

Hopefully I can answer this questions for you, in a few yrs....hopefully with a very high number! I have wondered this myself and always ask around when I'm with a group of Bikers. I don't wanna Rebuild/upgrade mine till it got at least 50-75K on it. This seems like a very reasonable expectation from what I have heard. Mine is an 03 (carb) Heritage. I wanted a carb but I have heard that when you rapid-decel a carb'ed motor it runs rich for a second and wipes much of the oil off the cylinders, hence less miles than with a fuel injected motor? Fact vs Myth...damn if I know. I run Amsoil in all 3 holes and don't really driver hard, but I don't baby it either!
Harley should give out Medalions whenever you reach milestones 50,75,100K miles with a stock motor. My 1988 Benzo Diesel has nearly 300k, I have a Medalion on my grill with 250,000 miles engraved on it from Mercedes.
Harley doesn't give out mileage medallions because our bikes don't have grills to put them on.
