1988 Royale, bought July, 2008, with 45,000 miles.

 

As of today, September 2011, it has 77,000 miles. It's a daily runner, weather permitting.

 

Since I bought it, it's been in Maine, Mass, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, and my home in Maryland.

 

Good trips planned for 2012, but plenty of day rides left this fall.

 

Great runner -- very pleased. :301:

I'm not an owner of a first gen. but I'm surprised not to find much highers numbers. I know when I was looking to buy a RSTD in July I saw many second gen. with 50-80k on them. With that being said I expected to see many 100-200k numbers for second gen. I live in Florida and am not an Iron butt rider, a 50-75 mile ride (one way) is a long ride for me and the wife. We do have the ability to ride year round and we ride around 7-10k a year. So if you take a 1983 bike at 5k a year which is I think a low average it should have 140k on it. (28years x 5,000 miles = 140,000 miles)

Enough said and God Bless,

Jerry
