Someone once asked here, not all that long ago, How long does a Road Star last?

The answer was: No one knows... no one's worn one out yet!

There is a guy over on the Delphi RSR message board that has 230K+ miles on his Road Star. He calls the bike Granny.

Re:+- 60,000 miles on your R* ?? 4 Years, 3 Months ago  
I don't mean to hijack the thread but others might be curious also. Is there any way of telling how many miles are on a bike if you know that the odometer was switched or tampered with? I bought a 2001 with 1700 on the odometer. It runs great but not 1700 great. I could tell that some work had been done on it because some of the bolt heads had been stripped. Also the gas tank had quite a bit of rust in it. I got it dirt cheap and after about 2500 additional miles it hasn't let me down. Will always wonder though just how many miles it really has.
