Hi all, was just reading some posts about high mileage Voyagers. 86000 miles on one. I'm in the used market and was wondering what anyone thought about buying a used bike with say 30000 miles on it. Do you notice any difference now as compared with new as far as mechanically? Thanks, MikeWanna be owner

Hi MIke and welcome, Can't go wrong with just 30K on one IF it has been taken care of. The old 1200,s would go up to 300K IF TAKEN CARE OF...

One of the club members just took his 1700 to Alaska and it had 140K before leaving to go there. See the last couple Voyager Voice editions.
