I'm looking at a MS as a replacement for my Sprint ST; on paper, it's the perfect bike - more sit-up to deal with traffic, sporty, not too big (a la V-Strom and Tiger).
But...
I have 60,000 miles on my 00 ST, and have had no problems at all. What's the most milesage someone on this forum has on a MS?

Hi Marc,
30.600km so far in 13,5 months with no problems
Gonna add another 200km today
Just do the scheduled maintenance and you'll be fine. Personally I do an oil & filter change every 3.000km and that's the only thing different than the "by the book" directions.
Happy deciding,
Doc
P.S: I ride evryday, in all kind of weather and for all types of riding (comuting, fast twisties, trips two up, track days, etc)
