![]() or is it (as in original) only classic shaped ![]() does this exclude anyone who's done the from fork springs (that's a bit they've changed) ![]() shouldn't it be who has the highest mileage without changing anything, bearing in mind it comes with oil in it so anyone past the first oil change is excluded anyway here's your winner Quote:
I'm sure if you make the criteria specific enough it'll be you ![]() Quote:

my riding is definatly different than rictus. forthe most part, I haven't changed anything outfrom stock except pipe & jet kit until it was worn out
I average 25,000/yr but the last 2 I have slacked off a bit and ridden my XV920R a little more. between the 2 I put on about 30k/yr. my riding is a mix of about everything.. and I weigh 300lbs geared up. I am very satisfied with stock suspension... in my mind it wasn't "broken in" till I had 20k or more. I rebuilt the forks with progressive springs@ about 62k. my average engine rpm is 5-6k a couple times I have SERIOUSLY overreved it downshifting to first @ 75mph.... the lasttime I thought for sure something was going to come unglued I have toured. every year I trek to Deals Gap for vacation, 1100 miles one way. usually do between 3500-6000 miles in a week to 10 days. I have done an IBA saddlesore 1000 and bunburner 1500 ridden off road on snowmobile trails & fire roads with motard tires. one ride in particular was over 50miles of single track standing on pegs slipping clutch and bouncing over rocks. I rely heavily on engine braking, I smooth shifts by slipping clutch rather than bliping throttle (some blip) I haven't done a thing to my SV that isn't a normal wear item.... I know rictus is way beyond my milage now, I beleive we both hit 100k about the same time last August |
