Motorcycle Repair: Quick random question, south carolinian, riding habits


Question
I prefer asking you about Harley's and the life they have instead of a south carolinian moto sailsmen.  I want to know 3 BASIC questions I'm very new to this.  

How many miles usualy has a harley traveled before technical difficulties begin to occur .. roughly,  in your experience?

   and now for some really ignorant questions.

How much would a used motorcycle typically be ebay is too ambiguous to help me with that

How many miles to the gallon usualy do you find Harleys doing.

           Thanks a lot for your time sir

Answer
A harley, like any other vechile, breaks down at ramdom. I hae see bikes go for 50,000-70,000 miles before haveing anything done to them. i have see bikes with as few as 5000 miles need repair. So its hard to say. There was a guy a few years ago who rode 100,000 miles without any problems.
The cost for a used harley, just like a car depends on the year, model and miles. You can look up bikes on kellys blue book on the web and get general prices.
milage, again, depends ont he model as well as riding habits. I ride a dresser and when I ride alone, I get around 35 miles to the gallon.
Good luck
