Oh I love big mileages, or even kilometerages!
That equates to 155,342 miles. Congratulations Lars.  I've got some way to go to beat you, I'm only on just a shade over 50,000 miles. (About 80,500 km.)

Most have been replaced, upgraded or repaired in time. Plus a few surprises, but not many. I'm now one of very few who actually know what these bikes can and can not take, when and where the aluminium gives up/cracks, the valuable difference between blue printing and "within spec", lifespan of most bearings and so on and so on. That's a fantastic feeling - to know rather than to ask on facebook. Bitz and Yellow: thank you! Slob: HURRA |

Mine has 85k on it and has had 2 complete engine rebuilds, including a new crank. Done a LOT of trackdays though.
