You should probably post this in the Milwaukee 8 subforum, then.

I think Chris now has 200,000 miles on the same bike.

Our respected member @scott7d has 186k miles on his M8.
Here is a good link to details. Go to post #5.

For what it's worth, my 2020 CVO Road Glide has over 186,000 miles and has been great. The few things it's needed outside of normal maintenance:
1. New front compression release at 140,000.
2. Stator started to go at 170,000, replaced that and the voltage regulator.
3. Each O2 sensor has been replaced once.
4. General cam chest service at 150,000.
5. New knock sensors at 180,000.
Aside from that, the bike has never left me stranded or needed any kind of work from something that made it unrideable. 17 Iron Butt rides with this bike, and lots of miles from sub-freezing temps to triple digits. Most would even say I stretch my oil change intervals out too far, as well.
Will everyone have this kind of luck? Probably not. But at 60k I don't think anything would be on the verge of exploding any time soon. However, I would check that the oil pump has been updated. That occurred in late 2019.

I won't win any awards for the little 72K on my first gen 2017.
I will say that its 72K miles riding it back and forth to work mostly, mixed with a handful of 5K trips here and there. It's not 200K in highway miles....
For the majority of it's life it's been cold started, run 24 miles, shutdown/cooled off, and then 8 hours later, cold started, run another 24 miles home 5 days a week for the last 8 years without fail.
Besides updating the oil pump during a Cam install, it's all stock motor wise.
Seeing the new designs I'm thinking of holding on to this one forever. Maybe it'll hit 200K one day.

Chris Hopper has been mentioned already. I know his 2021 is well over 200k. That dude is a freak.
