I don't think it is any secret that many of us love this bike. This is the first time I have had a motorcycle where I wasn't looking for what my next one will be. maybe I am just getting older and more satisfied. Or maybe this bike is as good as it gets for those looking to tour, tear up the twisties, or just get from point a to b.
My question is, with proper maintenance, what you do you realistically think you can get out of these bikes for total miles before it would make sense to get a new model? I know that sport bikes don't have the engine longevity that say a Gold Wing does. Ours is somewhere in between. I have seen Gold Wing's with 200K miles on them! And I have seen sport bikes flat worn out with only 8K miles on it as it spends the bulk of its time on the track at high RPM's most of its life.
So for the average rider who puts on 'normal' miles and does the maintenance faithfully, do you think this bike can get 75-100K miles on it?
