High Mileage Valkyrie?

Reading this post is very impressive to me.  When I sold the Valk it had low mileage on it.  I'm sure that L'll D is making up for that.

I'm definitively not setting any record for miles on the Vstrom that I have now.  However, I do have a few miles (years) on this old chassis that I have to wake up to each morning. 

We do have an amazing number of long riders here.  I hope that we'll have a lot more before the final Valk goes riding off in the sunset. :cooldude:

For those who don't know, I update the list at the top of this thread.  When I originally created the post I intended to only keep track of Valkyries over 100,000 miles. Based in the responses we received I chose to lower that limit to 60,000 miles.

When you started this post I had 102,000 miles on my 99 standard.     I now have 114,000 miles on it.
Not as many miles as last year but still had some nice rides and the year is not over. :)

I guess I'm only 65,000 miles from being broke in :roll:

97000 as of today. I thought i would hit 100000 this year, but my wreck in July isn't going to allow me.

I'm a Harley tech and ride a Honda that should tell you something,I traded an interstate with 39,000 for a tour with 77,000 on it,the mileage on these bikes mean nothing,they just keep going and going,best bike on the road sure wish Honda would bring it back, man a Valkyrie with fuel injection and 1800 big ones

R J

I'm dreaming of an 1800 ci & reverse, also fuel injection, and about 1/2 of the plastic currently on them I/S with a car tire.       LOL on the CT.

My 44 Harley ServiCar I have in the garage has 3 CT on it.    That is the way HD built them back in 44.

I've had my '97 yellow and black (or black and yellow, lol) since 2 months before the last Inzane in Kentucky, which was my first Inzane. It had 18,000 and some change on it when I bought it, and it now has 63,258. Not a lot of miles for the time I have had it, but I don't drive it to work every day. And there are a lot of weekends that I don't get to ride. The miles I have put on my bike are mostly from my trips to Inzane, and Americade once. And the one time I had 3 weeks and we did 11 states, Inzane in MI, and a little bit (very little) of Canada. I am hoping to improve on the amount of miles I put on her, once I retire, which will be on the 30th of September of this year. At least those are mt plans. Time, and money :laugh:, will tell.


Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

when I bought my valk new in April of 97' I had no idea what these machines were capable of , they had just came out . I just liked the styling and had an 81' GW that was super smooth . I had always wanted a HD but you couldn't buy 1 then off the showroom and the GW was so smooth that the Valk was the natural choice ,I have never regretted it and know of at least 4 people that bought a valk because of mine . It does seem to be the "superbike" that legends are made of . Even VTX riders aren't as dedicated .If you can see past the HD glam , you have found the best of all worlds . I had hoped to bust 100K this yr but remodeling my new house nipped that in the bud !
