i have a 25 mile commute each way, when it’s nice I ride, and then on the weekends I sometimes end up riding 2-400 miles. So it’s not unusual for me to ride 500 miles in a week consistently. Last March was when I bought my first Harley, I put 9000 miles on it in 4 months and traded it in for a brand new road glide at the beginning of last August and now I’ve already got 7500 miles on the new bike. I take really good care of my bikes but am I riding it too much? I’d like for it to last longer than 5 years, if I keep riding 15k a year I’ll have 75k on it by then. I was thinking about commuting less on it....what do you guys do? What’s high mileage for a Harley? People around here don’t seem to ride as much as I do, most bikes for sale on Craigslist have less than 30k on em. I guess I’m just worried mines gonna be worthless if I wanna trade it in 5 years from now (and it probably will be) if it has 70,000+ miles on it. I’ve actually been thinking about buying an Older used dyna or something to split the miles I ride up between 2 machines. Thoughts?

There’s the old saying.. not riding your Harley to keep it in good condition is like not sleeping with your woman to keep her tight for the next guy.
Ride your bike. I know lots of guys with 150k and over on their machines. Do the maintenance when needed.
Or, trade in every time you hit 60-70k.
People seem to think a Harley is an investment that retains value if you don’t put miles on it. That’s no longer the case. Plenty of bikes out there with low miles and little price tags.
