Default Maint issues after 267000kms

I'm looking at buying a 2014 Harley Road Glide Ultra, the Millage is 267000kms which concerns me.
1. What should have been done maintenance wise in the past?
2.What is the life span of a 103?
3. Will the motor need to be replaced soon / roughly at what km's?

Is 267,000 kilometers a typo? That's about 42,000 miles a year; hard to do. If not a typo, pass on the bike and find another.

This has to be a troll. Even Goldwing jockeys don’t roll that kind of mileage. OP if you’re serious here are the maintenance issues you should be looking for in the very near future if they haven’t been done already. A COMPLETE OVERHAUL! But hey, if the price is right and you’re a decent wrench go for it.
