2009 Harley-Davidson Fxdb Street BOB 1584 09 1.6L Petrol · GL58 KHP

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the record reveals a persistent mechanical issue regarding the exhaust system. The most recent test in July 2025 at 11,276 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a noisy exhaust, an insecure registration plate, and incorrect headlamp aim. While these items were rectified to secure a pass, the exhaust noise has been a recurring defect dating back to 2013, suggesting a long-term structural or internal fault that the owners have failed to fully resolve. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 663 miles per year. There is a significant gap in recorded data between 2019 and 2021, during which the bike covered only 276 miles over two years. Since 2021, the usage has remained minimal, covering just 1,405 miles in four years. This low usage rate indicates the vehicle likely sits for long periods, which can lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid quality despite low mileage. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the exhaust system to determine why the noise persists across over a decade of testing. The recurring failures regarding stop lamp illumination in 2014 and 2017 suggest potential wiring issues or switch failures that require electrical attention. Additionally, the corrosion noted on the wheel spokes in 2017 and the history of a loose drive belt in 2015 and 2016 necessitate a thorough check of the drivetrain tension and structural integrity to ensure the long intervals between use have not caused dry rot or seized components.
