Default Mileage

I'm looking at a 2000 Ultra classic. It has 30,000 mile on it, would this be considered high mileage? Should I be concerned? Bike is in excellent condition.

I had 80,000 on my 95 Roadking and was having no problems. There are people on this board that have over 100,000 on an Ultra. If the price is right, and the bike is in good shape I don't see 30,000 miles as a problem. Just make sure that you pay for a used bike. Some people seem to want new or better prices for used bikes, and are insulted when you don't want to pay it.

Regards,

Bill

If the bike is as you say it is, than I agree with Bill. Get a fair price for the bike and go for it.
