Default How many miles per month?

How many miles per month should I put on my V-Rod to keep it in top performance shape?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

As Many as You Can lol . I would think sitting is the worse thing for a Bike so as long as your putting something on it you should be good. As far as too many as long as you keep with Maint that shouldn't be an issue either, just things will wear out faster and need to be replaced sooner.

Don't worry about a specific amount of miles, just ride it whenever you can.

You are right I was going easy on him on the account of him being new. 3000 it is!

I did 750 this week and the bike is running great so I would say 3.5 - 4k should be fine per month.

Well I've had my Street Glide for 3 and a half months, and I'm in Alaska at work half of that time and my bike isn't, and I just got my 10k service so.... ummm, move over one place, uh, divide by 2, carry the 1.... ummm. I don't know. Ride it when you feel like it.
