My Nomad, purchased in May of '05, is just short of 56,000.
Taking it back in today for the continuing coolant leak/water pump seal.

How many miles on YOUR bike
Just turned over 47,000 miles last week on my '07. I really like the beast and it seems to run as well as ever. I forsee several more years with many happy miles since I have no desire right now to have anything different. There are lots of great bikes around but nothing that really makes me twitch compared to what I have.

I bought my 2005 Nomad in April 2007 with 19,000 miles and it now has 93,000 miles. Hey Wompus, what rear tire are you running?

My 99 Nomad had 63,000 when I sold it a year ago. Bought a new 09 1700 Nomad in May of 2010 that now has 6500 miles on the clock. I liked the 09 MUCH better. Can't get used to this 1700. Murf

I bought my bike new in 1999..
The only thing I've done to it was, Judges gear, fuel pump, and Meanstreak clutch spring, and a new drive shaft. Still has the original clutch system in it!

How many miles on YOUR bike
My wife took this a little ways south of Sarasota a couple weeks ago:
Mileage today is about 51,500 on my trusty '07. The only problems the bike has had was the fuel pump going out last summer which was a $100 fix thanks to eBay and the clutch rod seal leak which was an easy fix thanks to CJ and KawaNOW advice. Original clutch and springs still very solid and I have no regrets about the purchase of this bike. Different people like different things, but I like a big heavy reasonably priced comfortable reliable easy to work on inexpensive to maintain bike with lots of storage and top notch passenger comfort on long vacation trips. Nomad. :) |
