I have a 2008 Level 4 that I bought 2 1/2 years ago with 4000 miles on it. I now have 20000 miles on it but that is soon to change as I will be retiring in 30 days after 41 years as a police officer. This is my fourth Wing since I bought my first one new in 1977. It is amazing how life's obligations can get in the way of quality ride time. She goes in for new sneakers next week and then I plan on beginning my next career which will be focused on attempting to burn the odometer out.
My 2012 has almost 40K, and yesterday I found that the Right Fork seal has started leaking.... (figures, I'm over 1,000 miles from home, Guess I will nurse her back for a warranty repair...) no other problems... I love this bike!
You win! I've only got 74,000 on my '03. Had the frame recall, the overheat recall, replaced a fork tube because it kept blowing seals, and had a battery and seat replaced under warranty. Also got tired of fussing with the CD changer, so it's been replaced with an iPod interface. It ought to be good for at least another ten years, Lord willing!
Just bought my 2012 a few weeks ago started with 3000 now has 4600 lovin it so far I still have my 2005 VTX 1800 F with 148000 and still running STRONG
04 replaced alternator in March of 07 at the 168,000 mile mark under warranty. Retired the bike after an accident in Texas in 07 at 210, 000 miles . Current ride 05 no issues but only 40,000 miles.

2002, put 20,000 on it no issues, sold it got a 2003 put 507,000 on that one at 247,000 the alt went out then at 497,000 started to smoke a little, needed a valve job then sold it at 507,000 now on a 2012 at 147,000 only issue was a coolant leak dealer took care of that. I do all my own work and follow the book. I wanted a 2015 but things get in the way so lets see if the 2012 will hold up like the 2003. Oh the 2003 and 2012 were traxxionized so they took care of the rebuilds on the forks and shock every 40,000 dont ask how many sets of Tires I went thru I stopped counting at 20 sets. GABlue1800
