Just got me thinking, how long do these SV's go on for provided they are well maintained be interested to hear how many miles some of you on here have put on your SV's?

Mine's a baby @ 27k but there's some superb high mileage ones around,

With correct preemptive servicing and not thrashing them there's no reason the engines cannot do 200K IMHO. 100K should be easy.

Never wheelie them as the Transverse V-Twin engine design does not lend itself to this and it will knacker the engine quickly due to Front cylinder/Valve train oil starvation.

My 99 curvy'S' has just clicked over 12,000. I'm it's 2nd owner and only had it for about 18 months and in that time I've only managed to put 1,500 miles on it mainly due to weather, work commitments, pandemic and general faffing about with modding and polishing! It is more of a toy than a daily so I don't expect the miles to go up significantly any time soon.
