Default Anyone ride over 100,000km?

just wondering if anyone here hit over 100,000km on an SV?
Here in Toronto most i ever saw on a bike was 63,000+ km ('89 honda RC37), and just under 50,000 km on a 99 SV.

cheers

153,000 in 2 years 3 months actually*

(blew a few engine though, mostly on trackdays )

Although my last 5 speed triples all done over 100,000 miles each.


* brand new bike, never made it to MOT time.

Cheers Mark.
