2018 Street Glide Special

Looking to pull the trigger on a Bonneville White Denim Street Glide Special ... Is 56 miles a lot or is that normal. I always thought that they try to sell you the demo models instead of bikes that have say 10 miles on them, Thoughts??

10 - 56 not a huge difference but I would look closely for any scratches, etc. caused by being test driven or used on some way that it now has 56 miles.

I've never bought a new bike with more than 7-10 miles on it.

If it were me I would pass on that one, average test ride is probably 5ish miles, that's probably several test rides on that one. I'm speaking from my experience, me and the salesman took out a brand new 2016 and 2017, his exact words when we pulled out was "dont be afraid turn them up through the gears" and that's exactly what I did.

last year I bought a demo low rider s with 500 miles on it. tell me that thing didn't get ridden hard. but never had a problem.

this year my 18 street glide special came with 6 miles.

As long as you get a deal on the bike then you will be fine. But I would not pay top dollar for a bike with more than 20 miles on it. My last new bike had 7 miles on it.
