Longevity

[grumpy72]

I owned a 92 parts bike, then an immaculate metallic green not sure what year. Shoulda kept that one. Then briefly a 6 cylinder. Bought for a 100, sold for 400. Now my 2000 model. Once some things are fixed its a keeper. I guestimate with routine upkeep these motors go 100,000 easily. The 10 to 1 compression is worrisome.

Grumpy72, there are many, I repeat MANY Voyager XII's with 100k, 200k and some with 300k miles.
Basically as long as you keep up on routine maintenance & oil changes these bikes historically will last and continue to provide a wonderful riding experience

That's what I'm hoping for, my '93 only has about 43,000 on it. My biggest worry is discontinued parts, i went through that last winter with radiator hoses etc.

I personally know no less than 3 owners who have joined the 100-thousand mile club. I also know of more who have hit 2k and remember one fellow who was pissed when his Voyager let him down when it only had 315,000+/- miles in it. I laughed like a fool when I read it thinking "these aren't diesel engines, but they must be bullet proof!"
