'07 with 23,000K and only problem has been a signal light controller when it was new, other than that it has exceded my expectations in every way.

My 05 1200C had 9100 miles on it when I bought it November 09. It has 23800 on it now. The only issue it has is the starter strips sometimes if I try to start a hot engine like after a gas stop.

Fwiw my 883 just rolled over to 17k. I bought it in march with 12k. Hasn't let me down and I ride it short trips mostly 5 days a week. The aforementioned rocker gaskets are really the only common issue I've heard of with sporties. Seems to mainly be caused from insufficient warm up time.

'09 XL1200C with 21,307 miles and so far it hasn't needed any repairs. It's just been the usual maintenance, tires and oil changes.

'04 32k, only issue is spark plug wiring had worn and meant I was shorting out only running only on one cylinder. Apart from that, no issues.

My '09 Iron 883 had leaky rocker boxes from new and it took the dealer 3 attemps to get it fixed (under warranty). Only problem with my iron.
