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.)

Wow...... that is really impressive. I prefer to drive bikes and cars long term but don't remember topping that kind of milage. Well here's to your next quarter million!

Short answer: yes, everything.

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

there was a guy in USA who had a M900 with 200,000 miles but everything had been rebuilt at least twice and that was about 10 years ago ..

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