1999 standard with 168,000 miles , all mine. 
Shredded a belt, bent some valve stems.  New valves and I have it running but still not right.  Working on it but temps are dropping.
Too much time wrenching and not enough time riding.

112,700 mostly fun miles where mine.

RHonda's had 115200 when sold.

Dan, pretty much the same thing. Prudhoe Bay is the body of water the oil town of Deadhorse is at.

Yes, the end of the road is Deadhorse. Most people don't know where Deadhorse is that's why I said Prudhoe Bay. Air cargoed the bikes from Bogata to Panama City. Almost nothing gets through The Darian Gap, certainly not a Valkyrie. Started the trip in central Brasil and headed south to Ushuaia down the east coast of South America. Going north was up the west side of S.A. Rode along the back of the Andes. Our highest elevation we rode was about 15,200 feet. Awesome trip!

I haven't updated this for a while but my 1999 Valkyrie standard only pick up 2000 miles since the last post.  That puts me a little over  170,000 miles....  My parts are failing faster than my bike.

My 98 is now at 190,400. This disappoints me terribly. Covid, my spinal surgery, my wife being seriously ill since May 1 this year, and border crossings have so far prevented me turning it over 200K miles. It should have happened in 2020! Drat!
