My new 2013 Black non-DeLuxe had about 20K miles and I got T-boned. and totaled out.
Never any issues, and minimal mods.
My new 2015 Grey DeLuxe,Madstad,RDL,Heli,TPS, highway pegs,front-rear camera's.
About 25K, no issues, sold no issues.
My new 2015 Grey Deluxe, had the same options as above, yup missed the bike so I needed another one , and in addition to the above options I added, Torque loopz, and Twin Bro exhaust, did about 35K miles and sold it. Never any issues. Had 4 rear tire flats, one with high speed and rapid deflation kept it upright, and became a believer in going DD with rear RF tires, the best investment ever in Safety and reliability, and riding comfort.
And then came number 4 another 2015 Deluxe Grey, really thought that this would be the last one, so it had all the same options as above, and then a few more, progressive front shocks, all balls neck bearings, and a voltmeter bought this one slightly used 15K and put approx 19K on it, never any issues.
Then came number 5, the 2015 Deluxe in BLUE, bought it for my son, and he decided he was too young to ride one and still wanted to be cramped in riding style, kids.
So I really liked the color, so I added all the above-listed must-have options to the bike, it also had a Brocks exhaust which is nice and does not resonate/drone and I did not have to add the torque loopz due to the muffler negating the issue.
This one had 20K when I purchased it, and now has 30K on it and runs just like the other ones, GREAT!
On the last 3 F6B's I changed out the CPS out of caution, my thinking is that the age is more an issue than the actual mileage, and since it is only a $35 part and 1/2 -1 hr of labor it is cheap insurance.
Of all of them, I changed the oil with synthetic in the past, the last two I use Kirkland diesel engine oil and mostly the super tech oil filters from WM, and changed the rear dif oil at the same time at 10K intervals.
The most distance on one continuous trip is 2400 miles in approx 45 hrs and of all miles between the 5 f6b's 109 K miles of smiles, never a mechanical breakdown on any of them.
I highly recommend changing the triple tree bearings which are a joke to all balls bearings and adding wide angle rear view mirrors and LED lighting, and headlight modulators, this is a MUST-have on everyone I owned and has saved my bacon many times the rest of the stuff is personal(seat, fork springs, windshield, Heli bars, mufflers,etc,etc).
Having been riding for 50 years, and owned many brands, this by FAR is the most dependable and comfortable brand I have owned and still own.
And no I don't think I switch to the new style, done a long test ride at the wingding in 2021, not impressed, so the OG is the one for me
I update in 10 years from now, till the next anniversary.
Have changed all coolant on every one of them when I purchased them and never touched it again.
Changed brake pads when needed.Same with the air filter, and sparkplugs, flushed all hydralic fluids when purchased and never had to worry about it again.
