Have you checked out the Yamaha bolt?

Better reliability and less frequent maintenance than the Harley

 

Never heard of it. Looking it up now.

 

@Trouble_The_Tacoma it's nice, but the Harley is more appealing to me. Are Harley's high maintenance? I don't know much about them.

 

While you're at it check out the SCR950

 

As a kid I learned from how often my dad wasn't ridding meant Harley's like to get worked on. Seriously, I bet there were only a few summers where the bike did not spend a good chunk of time at the shop.

 

Not bad.

 

Well since you’re going to be on only two wheels you want to make sure your bike is always working lol. Harley’s require a stricter maintenance schedule and are more expensive. Plan on spending an additional $350+ every 5,000mi if you’re not going to do it yourself.

 

Forgot to add the service intervals for the bolt are every 12,000mi lol

 

The only reason I even discovered it is because the light quit working. Was a bitch to remove the connector. I still rocked the melted connector for a few months after. Just slathered it with dielectric grease

 

Another bike wouldn't be until way down the road, but that's good to know. The little TW is gonna have to do the job in the mean time.

 

I grease everything lol

 

I just got prepaid maintenance.. All my scheduled services until 15k miles are already paid for. And if I am keeping the bike longer than that, I can just add more services, and prepay the maintenance. I also got a wheel/tire warranty. So if I hit a nail, free tow to nearest dealer, $0 out of pocket cost. If they dont have it in stock, they get me a hotel, until they can repair my bike, and they rent me a bike for that time too.

This stuff only added $7 per month to my payments

 

What bike is that for?

 

Ain't none of that glamorousness here. I'm jealous.
