I don't remember, but after the break in period I rode it hard for 9 thousand until I broke the drive belt.

 

Mine had 7 miles on it. (13 FXDF ) if it where more than 10 miles I would want to know why.

 

Mine had 3 miles. But I saw the bike when it arrived with the trauck and I picked it up a few days later. I know it was never used as a demo or tested by anybody else. Mine was bought by me before it actually arrived at the dealer.

'On the other hand I worked once for a Honda car dealer and had to swap cars with a another dealer 150mi away, as a client wanted a color we didn't have and the other dealer had. So one of the wrenches disconnected the cable or electric connector whatever it was and I drove the car to the other dealer and came back with another car with the same odo trick done. Then the happy client had a nice spanking new 5mi on the odometer car

 

The very first Harley that I purchased was a 1992 Springer. As I recall it had about 50 miles on it when I picked it up. It was also a factory delivery from York PA. (can you still do that?) I was told that the Harley techs ride them to ensure no problems leaving the factory enroute to your home.

 

Interesting thread....so what is the definition of 'new?'
FWIW, at the dealer I bought my new RK, they let you test ride a bike, but a salesman goes with you...in fact he leads you on a 6 mi loop. You get to check out the bike on different roads but he is going to know if you mess up the bike....

 

Bought my new 2014 Limited yesterday...it had 27 miles on it.

To be honest, I'd prefer it had about that many. If it had 3 or 5, I'd be concerned about it. With 27 miles, I figured if there had been any problems, they'd have been addressed, while still having the assurance it hadn't been joy-ridden.

There were a couple minor scratches (less than half inch) on the left mirror, windscreen, and tour pack. Following the prep, the service manager made the list and ordered the parts to replace them.

I'm no expert...that's just my $0.02.

ETA:
Oh, and PS...the price on the bike made it worth the miles and minor cosmetic issues. I drove it out of there like I stole it because, frankly, at the price I paid, I feel like I did.

 

We took the same tour and got the same story from our tour guide. She called them "audited" bikes. Talk about a dream job...Harley Auditor".

 

My 2014 FLD Switchback had 7 miles on it when I bought it and 10 when I picked it up. I attribute the three miles to the techs after I had some stuff done to it testing the set up.

 

Never owned a brand spankin new motorcycle. If I did I would want it be less then say 10 miles. Would probably be the only one I ever had.

 

This was my senerio when I bought new. More than 50 I think I would have passed.
