Had to check. One of these has a LTR-RTL on the Derby Cover, but I know it had 5K + miles put on it in 2 weeks last year. There are lots of reasons bike have the mileage they do. Bottom line, if it's not yours it doesn't really matter mileage, color, chrome, blacked out, etc.. I know I don't ride as much as I once did and I'll swap a weekend ride for a visit with grandkids in a heartbeat - 9 of them. I also usually buy a bike a year and get it back right and on the road, so the riding I do is divided. When I feel obligated to explain why I ride or how much to anyone that didn't pay for my bike, I'll let you know.

It’s nit about what you do, how much you ride, where you put your gas cap, it’s about a trend I noticed that was humorous.

I didn’t ask for any explanation nor justification. Clearly, you like many others, can’t or won’t read what’s written. The comment made was that while I am looking a used bikes I noticed a trend that many of the bikes with extremely low miles all seem to have the “live to ride” crap bolted everywhere where as the bikes that are actually ridden don’t have that. It’s irony. That’s all i was pointing out.

Maybe humor is lost on this "get off my lawn" crowd?
I never understood the need to put that RTL trash on everything. But Harley sure did exploit it.
BTW yes it is humorous.

My 16 ultra limited has all that stuff on it when I got it,
Plus the tank&hard bag covers,
7 color Mood lighting that I didn't know it had till the shop guy handed me the remote when I got ready to take it home
Just means to me that I ain't gotta add nothin to it,
2 yrs old at the time with 22k on it,
Me&the Wife just jump on and go,
Can see the OP point though,
My point,
Pay all that $ for it to sit ain't doin it no favors,
My plan is to leave all that **** on there&let folks wonder and stereotype,
Sombitches don't know me,

As I was scrolling bikes I always run across 10 year old bikes, where the owners are always under the impression that their “investment” is far more valuable than reality, with low miles like most less than 5000.
Now thats all too common, as many people buy these, mod the hell out of them, then put 500 miles per year average, then think they are gonna get most (sometimes even all) of their “investment “ back on the sale. Anyway. That’s another story.
What I am seeing more and more of is that most of these bikes are covered with “Live to Ride” crap (even funnier when the seller says all dealer installed). WTF, live to ride and you did 5k miles in 10 years. Harley should restrict the sales of that **** to those that actually ride.
