RE: Longevity

Just to point out; those are Km's and not miles. At least that's what I think "klm" stands for. I think 230K Km is around 143K miles, which is still impressive for where the bike was ridden.

I don't think that I am ever going to wash my bike again, or do any mods. Just ride the bloody thing!

RE: Longevity

That's impressive for any motorcycle, car...anything.

Honestly though...there was a time when Harley wasn't exactly reliable...definately not the case anymore. However, as with anything...most of it is in how well you take care of it...if you maintaine it properly...you can get a TON of miles/time out of an engine.

Cool story.
