Ok my softail is a 2012 pushing 80,000 miles the only problem was the only rubber hose on the bike started leaking and had to be replace. Not knowing Harleys you picked oe of the most top heavy bike Harley makes. Try a FLSTC. next time if you ever want to rent one again. I ride with a lot of Harley riders and reliability has not been a problem in 20 years. Power wise they get up to the speed limit and have enough power to pass with out any problems. Granted my softail will only do 137mph. But there is not much opportunity around here for that.
