Thumbs up 7 miles or 9 miles on new harley why???

i know you can not get a new harley with zero miles on it my question is all come with either 7 or 9 miles on them did the 7 mile bike have less problem when harley tested it and did the 9 mile have more issues
and after purchase was there more warranty service on 7 or 9 mile bike??????????

I think the 9 miles bike is either more fun to ride, or it was tested in good weather! I have no idea! (I know they are all tested indoors, it is a joke)

My Bob came with 7mi on it. And the bagger came with 3mi. on it? It also was delivered to WI. state patrol so I guess it was a shot ride.

Look at it this way... if you worked at the HD factory, could you possibly resist taking it out for a spin?

My dealer takes bikes out for a test spin to make sure everything is OK before you sign and drive off.

After the dyno run at the factory, the mechanic at the dealer sets up the bike usually will ride it a mile or 2 to make sure everything is working before they deliver it to you

mine was just deliverd and it only has 1 mile on it.this is due to dealer not being able tq test ride.most of ther bikes have 10 miles on them when they can ride them to test every thing to see if it is all ok.
