I have 98000 kilometers on mine and it's a 97 standard. That would be about 62000 miles.
I have read about how far these ladies will go if maintained properly. I'm just wondering what kind of mileage you folks have on yours. :)
1997  Standard


Sharkey

Not nearly enough.
I got it two years ago with 14000 on the clock. Its a 98. A measly 1400 a year??
I have managed to double it in two years. It is now over 28000. With four kids a farm and job.

My '98 Standard has 93,500 miles on it. You're going to get a lot of answers with many more than that.  :cooldude:

Valker

126,000 mi. so far. Gonna go ahead and do the first service on it soon. :cooldude:
I ride a motorcycle because nothing transports me as quickly from where I am to who I am.

1997 Standard, purchased from my brother in '99 with 2600 miles on her.  A few mods, and many memories later, I stand at just over 75,000 miles.  Not bad for working full time and living in Wisconsin  ;)

One of my many trips to Michigan's UP...

Crazyhorse

I have 104K on my IS she had zero miles when I pick her up in Jan 2001.



The black 97 Standard has 47K all but 14K I put on her.


Big IV

My valk has a little over 91,000 on the odometer. The 98 tourer had 10,000 on it when I bought it so most of those miles are mine.

98 Tourer bought new in 2000 with 1200 dealer demo miles. Got divorced in 06 and had maybe 20k on her. 2010 I have 66k-ish. Hmmm....more miles since the divorce. Coincidence?  :coolsmiley:

  I have truly been impressed when attending any functions with this group. Just wonder though the bikes check out just how many have over 100,000 . I'm at 79,200 on the I.S. and about 33,000 On the Standard. I see we have a poll here, how about somewhere we can list or chart our mileage accomplishments .Kinda like bragging rights  :cooldude: I belong to another group "Amvet Riders", most of the other members of the Amvets riders belong to Harley Owners Group (HOG) Glad I belong to Valkyrie Riders Cruising Club (VRCC).
2000 I/S ,03 Standard  ,Yes, I like mine BLACK !


Romeo

Just over 72,000 on my '99 Tourer. Purchased it in '03, had 16,000 on it. Change the oill in the spring. That's really about it, outside of brake pads. haven't even changed the plugs, maybe this winter. Put a K& N filter in her a cpl years back after my Rogue brothers shamed me into it.

SlowRoad

Just over 51000 on my 97 standard. She had 4500 on her when she came to live with me about 4 1/2 years ago. Just over 1/2 way to the break in point.

ChromeDome

01 Interstate, had 4 miles on it when I bought it in May of 01

97 Tourer Green and Cream.
14k when she found me and 67K now.
My boss is a die hard Harley guy annd just rolled 50K on his '02 fat something or other.
New tranny, bottom end, a valve job and tires.
Believe it or dont, he laughed at me when I fell out of the WW 2 sub Vet's honor ride because I had to do front wheel bearings.

OK, I did rear's last week.
Aot of guys with burn marks,gnarly scars and funny twitches ask why I spend so much on safety gear

Quicksilver, if that is your poll, you need to add a 300 to 500 so DDT can vote.  He has over 400,000 on his.

 My 99 has 106,617.0 and my 00 has 7,249.0  :crazy2:

Mr.BubblesVRCCDS0008

Had a 99 tourer put 34k on it. Bought red/black 2000 I/S and put 70k on it. It has 124k on it and still running like a raped ape.

RP#62

My 97 Tourer has 96K miles - all mine  :)
Cheryl's 98 Tourer has 53K miles.  20K are hers (and some of mine - I ride her's to work when mine needs gas)

103,000 on my '97 Tourer.


48,000 on our recent addition '99 Standard converted to a Tourer.


23,000 on Kim's '98 Tourer. Her bike is soooooo nice!


Splitting riding time between my '97 & the '99 will keep the mileage count down a bit on both of them but having 2 of them will allow me to keep on ridin' during maintenence time. Maybe even some paint & cool mods!!  :cooldude:
Kim's bike is just plain perfect!!!
'13 F6B black-the real new Valkyrie Tourer
'13 F6B red for Kim
'97 Valkyrie Tourer r&w, OLDFRT's ride now!
'98 Valkyrie Tourer burgundy & cream traded for Kim's F6B
'05 SS 750 traded for Kim's F6B
'99 Valkyrie black & silver Tourer, traded in on my F6B
'05 Triumph R3 gone but not forgotten!

NITRO

I picked this 2000 IS up April 22 with 18,500 miles. She now sits with 43,260.

When in doubt, ride.
