Yes
What Monk said.
And everybody else. Some V-rods are approaching 100,000 miles with only oil and filters changes. They do have a tendency to go throughrear tires in a hurry.
(Check out "Birth of the V-rod" on Discovery and "Super Factories: Harley Davidson" on NatGeo if you get a chance. This engine is no accident.)

Five years, two V-Rods, zero problems, countless grins.

Five years and two V-rods..that's what...2 front tires and 10 rears?
(I have to get a new rear tire SOON! I managed almost 8,500 miles on this one.)

I have an '06 Night Rod that has had zero problems. It is faster than I could possibly want to go, and yet is a comfortable bike for multi-hour trips. Plus it's rare enough that most people think it's some sort of custom bike. Can't even think of a negative.

Am I the only one?

Every winter my bike falls apart in the garage. Every spring it looks different. Every pay day, I have no money. I can't be the only one...........
