Re: SV mileage- do they go the distance?
Under 20k (19+ i think) k3 owned since 3k.
In the process of taking it apart for a good clean and check, for forks to get the internals done (cue moaning about the rear) and either paint or polish. Subframe paint. A new EBC disk after it warping or I suspect been damaged by a tyre fitter. One disc dished so got a set of EBC's fitted. Pish in the wet but better in the dry than OE. 2nd C&S kit, 3rd chain (snapped). Oil pressure sensor temporary repaired as a precaution. 2nd speedo drive knackered. Can't be bothered replacing so it gets superglued....and breaks in place, and continues to work. 3 full front brake strips. Winter cack. Used to run on one for a few minutes much to the delight of my neighbours until I got busy with the silicon gel round the front plug cap. Will run it till it goes pop, then use that as an excuse to get summit else... A Gladys 750RR-Z k11.

Re: SV mileage- do they go the distance?
The bikes do last well, most of the problems that I have seen have been electrical and in my case very little winter protection.

Re: SV mileage- do they go the distance?
I think my old one has done 27K now. The new owner doesnt do many miles though so its only gone up 2K in like 12 months... Mine happily did 12K a year through all weathers all year with long 100+ mile trips regularly.
