Default hello from atlanta

I'm in Alpharetta, and starting to look for a Harley.

I've owned Hondas before, but not in many years. I'm mostly looking at dressed out "police" bikes. I look forward to reading the recommendations of experienced riders.

my first question is how many miles on a well cared for bike before I'm looking at lots of repairs. Are they like cars, where 50,000 miles is fine, or is there a sweet spot? Same with year?

I know Harley used to be known for leaking and regular repairs (told you I'm old) so what year did they become as reliable as they are today?

opinions welcome!
