Question: how much mileage is good for a used motorcycle?
Answer: Some sources say "average" motorcycle use is between 2,000 and 3,000 miles a year, with mileage on touring bikes in the 5,000 to 6,000 mile range. Here's why there's so much more to buying a used motorcycle than just mileage: A new rider purchased a new Sportster® and rode it hard the first year.
