Just like a couple have said the mileage is not the issue it is how the miles got on there, if they are hard miles keep looking....

I have two friends with a Road King and a Fatboy, both have exceeded 125k and both are road ready for any trip.

I aint true
I seen some 2013 models being tested last month
We were forbiden to take pics
which I can respect

I only saw them from like 50-100 yards away
All I can say is they were not Liquid cooled

And I was so happy to see that

We need to stay with what works
Liquid cooling will only lead to increased power
I have a buddy that has a Screamin Eagle Dyna 110 Cu Inch
Nobody needs more power than that
That thing is unbelievable

If you need more
Buy a Ninja

Just my 2 cents

My 05 had 18,000 on it when I bought it 2 yrs ago and now has 55,000 and still counting. No plans of getting rid of it either.
