Interesting reading the first couple of posts about how the H-D engine needs to be rebuilt at about 80,000. This is just wrong. It depends on how you ride, the oil you use, the frequency of changes, etc. Later posts indicate 150,000 miles is to be expected if you care for your Harley. I can show you EVO bikes in my area that have over 200,000 on them with virtually no major engine work ever having been done. These riders know how to ride and know the value of maintenance - in fact, they consider proper maintenance a large part of the enjoyment of the biker experience. Take care of your machine and forget about longevity - it'll last as long as you want to own it.
