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.
