    If you have a cycle that has what you would consider high mileage.
    Post it’s make, model, model year, and the number of miles here
    so we can all get an idea of how many miles a cycle can accumulate and
    still be a useful piece of machinery.

    Update on my 1997 Vulcan 500. It currently has 179,000+ miles on it and was put back stock at 108,000 miles when being restored.

    No internal work done to engine. Lots of work done to the carbs & exhaust.

    49k miles 28 months & still going!


    Update:

    I still have this same motorcycle. It currently has 189,000 miles on it. I use it frequently. Most recently I, my Dad, and son were visiting Tour of Honor sites in Louisiana until Dad crashed out in south Louisiana. Dad's going to be fine. I rode back to
    Arkansas the next day (following the truck that was trailering his bike) almost 300 miles. It's still very serviceable.
