You realize 20,000 miles on a Harley is just past break in...I don't think you're accustomed to how long these motors last compared to your old sport bike. No reason to trade it in if you're happy with it. It'll go forever and you can keep building up if you want as the years go by. Your money is much better spent on your own bike than swapping for new...unless you decide you want something different.

so fn ugly
Just the regular scout, although strangely enough some of the guys at the demo day said the scout 60 seemed to have more guts than the regular scout...seems kind of odd, maybe it has different gearing. Hard saying since I didn't ride the 60.

high hp dosent always equate to high torque. you gonna wind those little engines out.

Excellent advice. I am happy with my LR. I was in shock when I first saw the 2018 Low Rider but the price my dealer quoted me was a shot of cold water.


Keeping what I got for now.

Same here. Sounds like a plan! Just got the bike set up how I like it.

My Low Rider is the first bike I had that went past 13000 miles. All my previous bikes never went much past 13500 miles. Going to see how long I can run the 103 and then when the time comes, one of those S&S 124s may be the way to go.

Pretty much my plan also.
