Thinking about a Ultra, but the ones I see on the road aren't being ridden many miles. Why is that?

I ride between 25-30,000 miles a year. What would be my maintenance cost for that year? Yes, I am a pretty good wrench and can read a service manual! LOL...

How many of you put 25-30,000 a year on your H-D's? Most of the people I see don't put 5,000 miles a year on them. [:@] How many of you do 800 mile days on a regular basis?

TIA.....

 

Put 12,000 miles on my Road King this year. Pretty puny compared to you. Most miles in one day was about 600.

 

Picked up my 05 Ultra June 23rd. Got 9,000 on her so far. Expecting snow Monday. If not I'll ride her some more.

Factory Maintenance is expensive. Check out the DVD at FixMyHog.com. It'll save you a lot if you can do your own.

Ride on Bro!

 

been averaging 1500-2000 per month

 

About 13K per year.

 

Yep, that sounds about right. This winter I'm sure that will shorten a bit for me, but I'll still get 1,000/mo. or so. Only had mine since Aug. though, so who knows.

 

I've had my glide 8 months and have over 18,000 miles thus far.

 

I've had my RK 5 month and have 8,200 on it. Going to add to that today.

 

Put 22,500 on 04 RK in 11 months have 7,500 on 05 Ultra with a total of of 30,000 in 14 months

 

Some of you guys have alot of time on your side, good for you!

8000 + in 6 months here, my goal is 10,000 before the salt hits the street, then its time for wrench'in.

I have done a 2000 mile weekend, 950 in a day getting home in time for work on monday, and I'll do it again!
Coming from a Sportster I never thought I'd ride more than 250 miles a day, Baggers Rock! [sm=icon_rock.gif]
