This right here. Take care of your bike and treat it as it deserves and it will last longer than you’ll likely want it. Beat it like a red headed stepchild and it will fall apart around you.

Depends how you take care of it, and I don’t mean baby it. Rude it to enjoy it, just don’t spend all the time bouncing off the rev limiter, doing 4,000 RPM hole shots, etc. Then, how much you want to spend. Everything can be replaced for a price, so the same bike could go forever.

All toys should last a very long time if treated with some reasonable amount of respect. For the money I paid this thing better last a loooooong time, or at least till I am willing to replace it with the next unit.

In the Florida heat and traffic, I doubt it. Heat will take it's tole. Long redlights in 95 degree weather with out much wind is hard on an air cooled motor. An aftermarket tune with an air- fuel ratio below 13.75 will help.

How long is a piece of string? I will add this; a new Harley will last a lot longer if you don't beat on it and don't "fix" anything that doesn't need repaired; many problems are self induced.
