AMEN Brother! IF I ever do get a new bike, it definetly would NOT be a Harley! Much rather have a Victory or Indian!

Ride a Victory before you buy, the slam bang transmission may bother you enough to be a deal breaker

Yes, now that you mention it, they all have clunky/funky sounding tranny.
At least compared to my Nomad.
I test rode all 3 Harley, Victory and Indian.

My dad bought an '05 Nomad new off the dealer showroom floor. He rode it for a few years. The last year or two of him owning it, I probably put more miles on it than he did. Once I started putting money into it for him, he signed it over to me as a birthday present. It now has close to 40k miles on it. Never had to do any mechanical work to it, just maintain it and a few mods to it. The thing has a tank for an engine and runs like a top.

I purchased my Nomad new in 2005 have done several mods. It has been the best bike I've ever owned. Been riding since I was 10.i have right at 40,000 miles no big maintenance problems. Great bike!

Purchased mine new in '06. New tires, battery and oil changes are all the maintenance I've done. Numerous mods of course, but no mechanical problems. I've ridden others, Harley road king and Victory, but I'm just too comfortable on the ole Nomad to change.

Been riding mine since new Feb 2000, now at 125000 miles

nomad ryder · 12-09-2014, 12:48 PM

Bought the '04 Nomad in '09 with 16k on it. About 53k on it now. Mods are opened the intake, Dobeck module, debaff'ed pipes, 19mm deep sockets for risers. Service and repairs; head bearings replaced, hydro fluids flushed and replaced, brake pads, final drive checked, coolant checked, new battery, oil change every 5k. I want to put in the cam chain tensioner extenders, (have the parts) and check the front bearings, getting a little howling whine in corners. All in all, pretty happy with it. Sort of considering a used Suzook 'Strom as a second bike for a little fun in the dirt. (my BIL very dirt-oriented).

I would answer but firmly believe that to do so would invoke the gremlin gods to smite me with a huge amount of repairs.

But I've had the bike 2 years, added cosmetics mostly, bike has 70K
KM on it, motor rebuilt 10K ago

Hello mate, why was the engine rebuilt after so few mile's, and what model is it.

Всем привет ! )
Купил свой Nomad 2005, с пробегом 871 mil, на еВау. На сегодня пробег 102 000 т/км. На 47 т/км заменил цепи грм и диски сцепления с пружиной. Сейчас готовлюсь поменять направляющие клапанов/маслосъёмные колпачки/кольца. Расход масла в этом сезоне сильно огорчил(. На 8000 т/км 6 л масла. ((
И те мне менее, это для меня самый лучший мотоцикл.
Nomad - the Best ! ))
