I've got 23k on my '15RGS bought new 15mos ago.

I've had 6 warranty issues (approx $2000-3000 worth) that the Tire&Wheel package and factory OEM warranty have taken care of, hassle free.

Bought the bike back on September of 2015, have 15,000 on the ODO. I bought it to ride it and enjoy it, not let it sit in a garage.

I have to agree with this, I purchased mine to ride it 6000 miles in 4 months. Doing a run this weekend which will put another 1000 miles on the odometer.

Not worried about resale, my last two H-D's taught me the folly of that.

Or once they actually get on it and ride it a bit are scared ****-less.

Or, they financed the CVO and are busy working the OT to pay for it

I think this applies not to just CVOs but regular Harleys as well.

I have seen many of pre owned bikes that are shiney as hell but with less miles then my running shoes have on them!

I don't get a lot of miles in due to being TDY a lot but when I am home I ride every chance I get.

Many things going on, so i just try and plan a ride that i will enjoy and hope the other things in life don't prevent it from happening.

Miles are not important, just some quality time to get away and cruise the most scenic roads.

This, plus ride it like it's your last bike
