Nice one- think Mine (The Yellow Peril) will be turning 70k some time this year- I've only had her 4 years mind, since 28k...

Wow, congrats. Just goes to show that a properly cared for motor counts for much more than a lower mileage neglected bike eh.

What's the highest mileage SV that's been seen on here?

I have a feeling it is probably Mark.

Sounds promising for mine then. It ticked over to 27k today. Plenty of miles left in it yet.

Obviously well looked after Viney.
Suzys been in the family for all of her ten years, and only manages just shy of 25k!

At 36k I do hope Daves new owner can keep him going to 70k! Goes to show it can be achieved
