Carl,

Our girl rolled 754K + today... She's holding up quite well, but her rider is starting to noticeably sag in all the wrong places!

I am praying for the day you reach 1,000,000 and hoping to attend the party to commemorate the event.

I just got back from a great three week ride. My 98 is now at 215,000.

My '99 Interstate hit 112,000 miles on Sunday, then my '98 Tourer reached 180,000 on Monday. I rode my previous (2013) F6B 54,000 miles. I replaced it with a 2016 F6B which has over 61,000. Overall, that's nearly 400,000 on Honda flat six motorcycles.

In all those miles the only serious problems have been sheared clutch rivets and a rear wheel bearing failure, both on the '98 Tourer. I've never owned more reliable vehicles of any kind.

200,000 is a whole lot of miles on a motorcycle.  My hats off to ya.
Im too old to get to 200,000 miles but am gonna enjoy the ride as long as I can.

These Valkyries are amazing machines.  My wife has several times told me "you are getting old and if you plan to continue riding I think you need to go buy a new motorcycle."   I told her that no I really like my Valkyrie and it rides just like I like to ride.    Dont really want another type of bike.

Keith,

One mile at a time, my friend! It ain't the scorecard that matters, it's the breadth of the smile on your face! My guess is you've already equaled anything I've ever done... Congrats, sir!!!
