| |  V-ROD Longevity
I have a 2006 v-rod with 5000 miles. I know my Road King will make 75,000-100,000 miles before a rebuild but how many miles can I expect from a v-rod? How many members have a v-rod with over 50,000? Thanks for any input. |

Just read of a Beverly Hills guy on another site passing 50K. |

Even then, the sleeves still have cross hatching, and everything looks brand new.
I would expect a stock v-rod to make 200K before a major rebuild. |

There are at least 20 folks in a V-Rod Century "Club"....100K miles or over.

These bikes seem to have a great deal of longevity, you chose the right ride. |

I own a 2003 v-rod just past 62,000 miles. Best bike I have ever ridden. |

With their engine specs I'd say that the VRODS are going to run a good long while before any major rebuild is needed. |

The last 30,000 with a trask turbo hanging off the side running 6# of boost, with no internal mods. Vrod is liquid cooled. that gives it an advatage even before you figure in the balanced motor, and cams. |

Great question to which I hope the answer is A VERY LONG TIME.
Yesterday marked my 3rd Month Anniversary with my VRSCDX and I just hit 4,000 miles this morning.
At the rate I ride I'd like it to last longer than the financing I have on it. LOL | | |
