My 2002 Goldwing currently has 586,000 miles , original engine with no real work ever done to it.
Right now I’m on my way to Tuktoyaktuk Northwest Territory riding my 2018 Yamaha Tenere, it’s a ok bike but I highly prefer riding the Goldwing.

Those Airheads are great. I had a R50 years ago. Bot it for $50.00 with the RH cylinder broken off, rod bent, piston missing. Took it to ABT in Chgo. Rod straightened, new piston, cylinder. Never leaked or used oil but it wouldn't get out of it won way (~30 HP). Used to ride it WOT most everywhere I went. Did a hot lap at Road America on it. The folks at the track were not impressed. Asked me to leave.

Seen on a billboard on I-294 in WI during H-Ds anniversary years ago, "We would wish you happy anniversary, but you wouldn't hear us. BMW Motorrad."

I gave up my BMW 1200 GSA last year for a four wheel ATV. But, man - it's spring and I HAVE THE URGE. Those new Harley Low Riders are so very nice. It's like giving up smoking - it's always there - in the back of your mind. The cool morning air - the smell of the pines in the mountains - the sound of the Meadow Lark as you motor thru the wheat fields............

On most H-Ds, you cannot hear anything with the engine running...H-D, the best way to convert gasoline to noise without the benefit of work. But any bike is better than no bike. Get one. Gas is gonna go through the roof.

The stock exhaust on a Harley is not that loud, my Ultra Classic is quite until you realy put a load on and twist the wick high then she has a good rumble just putting around on the roads and town she's pretty quite.

Harley Davidson had to pay a huge fine a few years ago for selling and installing loud aftermarket pipes, Harley dealers are no longer able to sell loud pipes and they also are not allowed to do any warranty work on a Harley motorcycle with loud pipes
