starkruzen Posted November 16, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 16, 2009 I am curious, since I just got my RSTD, I was wondering how many miles can I expect to get out of the bike with good mainten:mytruck1:ance and regular oil changes.

McBrush Posted November 16, 2009 Share #13 Posted November 16, 2009 The original owner of my Venture had 5 previous Ventures - according to his dealer he would ride 100,000 miles and trade it in on a new one. Unfortunately, just before his 80th birthday he passed on, which is how I got his newest one with 15K on it. Lots and lots of life in these bikes, for sure!

starkruzen Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share #24 Posted November 17, 2009 Very interesting guys! I traded my 08 Harley Dyna for a 07 RSTD a month ago, and I love this machine...what a smooth riding bike. Funny, went with my ground on a 320 mile day trip Sunday and got 82 miles into it and one of our riders blew his stator on his 08 Harley Road King! The funny thing is, he had a RSTD for about 5 years and sold it for the Harley...now he regrets it. He only had this Harley for about 9 months and he already bleyw his front wheel berrings, and a stator. He told me he never had a problem with the RSTD... He wants to get a Venture now or a Goldwing. I don't miss my Harley one little bit. Mark:draming: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
