Cool Mileage

How many miles can I expect out of my 2009 SEUC. I always trade them in before they get many miles on them.

You can expect 248,329 miles...give or take 3 miles. (joke)

I have seen people riding panheads they bought new as teenagers, so, I guess it all depends on how well you maintain it, and take care of it.

I am confused, what are you asking? How many miles do you ride before you trade them in? With the 110" make sure you get a tuner to add fuel and decrease timing in it, or you will be having rear head gaskets or jugs replaced.

+1 with Leo. Sounds like you won't get too many miles on it....

I've got 70K now, and I better get at least 100K before I pull the heads. I like to ride, not buy. So I tend to put a lot of miles on all my bikes. Prolly close to 500,000 by now. Just take decent care of it, service it regularly, and keep CLEAN fluids in it! Change the fluids very regular, and I always do a number of changes early on to get out any little pieces of metal when I get a new one. Especially the crank and trans when new. Lots of old school guys do the 150/300/600/1000 before starting into the regular schedule. Not so critical with Primary. And probably not as critical with Synthetics. Cheapest and best insurance you can buy... Jmho
