64 - 3500km on 2016 Sportster Forty Eight - more than 500000km from age 10 till today on wide range of bikes - Sportster can improve on suspension, smoothness in low rpm and a wider rear tire...

29, 2017 Iron 883, 12500. Only thing I wish the bike has is more power. Then again if I had more I'd probably have points on my license. Plus I'm trying to be patient and see what the Street fighter has to offer or the new 1250 custom.
