What is the life expectancy of a Sportster.
How many miles can you get out of one before a rebuild would be required ?
If you don't beat on it I mean , just average driving .

There's an 883 that's been regularly serviced at my local dealer with around
120,000 miles on it and nothing major has gone south.

RE: How many miles out of a Sportster
If you service it like you should, you should easily get 100k out of the top end before it needs refreshing. The bottom end should last way past 100k. In all honestly, very few people ever put 100k miles on a Sportster before they move on to something else. Somebody should do a thread/poll comparing mileage and year model of the Big Twin riderscomparedto Sporty riders. I'm certain that you will see the average annual mileage of the Big Twin riders to be higher than the Sporty riders. Sure, I know there will be some Sporty guys with some high mileage, especially after the first year of ownership, but very few continue to rack up high miles on a Sporty year after year.........Before some Sporty ownergets their panties in a wad......Read my sig...I own both a Big Twin and a Sportster.
Why would I possibly want to spend 2x or 3x the cash to do what I do now, ride?

If it were just me, I know that I wouldn't have any trouble racking up high miles on a rubber mounted Sporty.
