I have 35k on my scoot and I'm not even close to getting rid of her. She's been a good'n. If I do get another bike I'll keep my 04 too.

 

Mileage isn't important to me. The '09 came out with 450 engineering changes after 30 year old design. Had a '06 RKC which was a really nice bike, but we didn't have enough room to pack so I upgraded to an Ultra. Extremely pleased with the bike.

Yeah, At the age of 46, I'd like to trade for one more brand new Ultra (First Choice) or RGU (Second Choice only if they had better two tone paint design, Just that I don't like the current design on RGU's).

I ain't trading nothing. Waiting till i crash and then buy new again.

 

As of now....I plan on keeping my '07 Standard for several more years. As I get older......I might change my mind for is a Tri-Glide. Love the looks of those!

PS....Then again....the RGs are growing on me too.

 

Rode my 2000 RG until a stoopid woman in a cage totaled it for me at 158k+.

 

I will ride her till the engine blows and rebuild it, but it doesn't mean i will not buy another one guess i need a bigger garage

 

i keep my bikes for as long as they make me smile , or until i see something i think will make me smile more than the last one , could be years or like the last one 9 months , there all good though , some better than others and sometimes trading has been a mistake (all be it a short lived one) , I'm very happy at the moment with my 2011 fat bob , so i will always be happy with what I'm riding in the end , i just hope the last bike i ride will be a great one , its always nice to go out with a smile on your face .

 

You can always sell a well sorted Harley, no matter how old or how many miles are on it. You might not like what you could get for it, but there's no doubt you could find a buyer.

I'm not worried about putting miles on my bike. I won't have a bike that I don't own outright. When you're not making payments to a bank on your bike, you don't have to worry so much about protecting the resale value.

 

When I buy a bike (and there have been many) and I know it will be traded eventually, I don't like to have over 30K on it when I sell it. There is something about this one I have now, that I may just be keeping for a long time.

 

I've got 30k on my 2010 FLHTK, and I'm covered by ESP until November 2016. I won't consider selling or trading until then, and the bike'll have over 200k on it at that point. I can't see any reason or any option appearing that would make me want to sell.
