It's a garage queen, very low miles. My 2018 CVO Road Glide has 23,872 miles on it. It's also not the only bike I ride.

2016 RGU with over 60K on it. 3K is very low mileage and the warranty has recently expired.

For the last 30 years, I’ve averaged 8,500 miles/year and I live in upstate NY. 1500 miles/yr is “hardly ridden.”

Depends on the owner too. Did they ride in the rain like it did most all the time here in the Northeast this year or just let it sit on rainy days? Alot of things can depend on mileage per year. I have gotten as much as 8000 per year and as low as 2500 this year.
Mileage really doesn't hurt them unless it shows obvious abuse or really high mileage.
There are lots of used bikes on the market right now and it's a great time to buy.
Find what ya like at the right price and go with it!
Best of luck to ya.

I don't think 3000 miles is really a dent on the bike. I bought my SGS in mid June last year and its sitting at around 18,000 miles now, plus I still ride my Wide Glide quite a bit. I leave this Wednesday for a 11 day trip in which I expect to put on another 4,200 to 4,500.

3000 miles is barely broken in.

Up here in the frozen wasteland, with our abbreviated riding season, I average around 12K miles/year, with plenty well over that number.

Cheers!

I put on anywhere from 5 to 12K a year on my bikes, so 3k is nothing.
