8k miles, no issues. VR replaced under recall, but no issues before replacement.

The only issue is avoiding the siren song it makes for my wallet.

I bought one of those horrible rental fleet bikes 3 months ago with 12K on it. Put 7,000 more miles on it with a 4K road trip down the coast and did the 1,000 mile Iron Butt this weekend...runs like a top.

Bought a 12 SG in November 2011. Windshield, seat and handlebars had to go immediately. That is personal (although I suspect they put poor OEM parts on to make you upgrade!)

Other than that just had the regulator replaced under warranty at no charge while on the road. Dealer even came and picked me and bike up on the road at no charge to me. The bike has been great overall. HD fixed the only problem I've had.

Sounds like yet another non issue..... Buy your 2012 and ride the Hell out of it!!

(Watch out tho, there might be an ever-so-slight ticking noise, from time-to-time... but then again, you are sitting right on top of a Harley motor!)

Wow, Glad I didn't get one of those. I have almost 10,000 miles on mine. BEST bike I've ever had (SO FAR). Not a single problem.
