I'm not even in the hunt at 30,000 miles in three years. Who else might give him a run for the money ??? Will be cool to brag to the Harley guys............

I can see Varyder being the 2nd. varyder Posted 2013-05-06 6:52 PM (#138442 - in reply to #138420) Subject: Re: First to 150,000 miles ??

Anything more than 100k is pretty impressive, both for the bike and the rider. Oldman47 Posted 2013-05-06 8:46 PM (#138462 - in reply to #138420) Subject: Re: First to 150,000 miles ?? Tourer Posts: 573 Central Illinois Monkeyman, these days 200k on a car is not hard at all. You just have to avoid trading it in. I drove my Honda CRX that far with no issues except replacing exhaust and tires and it gave me 45 MPG to boot. My wife routinely drives her Toyotas that far and they say that these days american assembled cars are equally reliable. I have to admit that sounds like an awful lot for a bike though. rdbudd Posted 2013-05-06 8:53 PM (#138464 - in reply to #138442) Subject: Re: First to 150,000 miles ??

Would that be Tim Werder's 1999 V92C that rolled over 200,000 miles several years ago, and is now in the motorcycle museum in Anamosa, Iowa? Just imagine what he could have done with a Vision before he retired it. Ronnie varyder Posted 2013-05-06 9:10 PM (#138468 - in reply to #138420) Subject: Re: First to 150,000 miles ??

I have 136,000+ on my 99. I have 50,000 + on my 2008 Vision. I will have my Vision for 1 year May 25th. I will have put about 31,000 on it my first year of ownership.
