Mines clocked over 50k now, it is an 03. I've had it 10 months and clocked 8k, it's only a 'toy' though. Figure i'm going to keep it till it goes bang!

Maintained, i think sv engines will see 80k quite easy, its the rest of the bike that will probably fail before the engine, bearings, shocks, electrics etc, obviously all repairable though

Thats decent going mark,40k in 4 years is way above average.

Ive done just under 11k on my sprint in 2 years, i have done over 2.5k on my drz too though, all pleasure miles.

Dread to think how much 40k would cost on my sprint in fuel alone, im getting around 135ish to a tank, was 165-170.

On a serious note, fuel cost is starting to impact how much i ride mine these days, ive got 4 vehicles in my house, all solely used by me, just keeping them on the road is expensive enough, fueling them as well?

Well done sir. Makes my 8500 in a 15 months look poor. I'm almost the same as Lance only do Thursday afternoons and Sundays.
