I have a 02 Savage. It has almost 25,000 miles on it. Put almost 11,000 on it just this year. I have always changed the oil every 1,000 miles or so, have absoultly no oil leaks, the header pipe is still a nice bright chrome, no discoloration at all. The bike looks every bit as good as the day it left the show room floor. Most people think its a new bike. I see from everyones posts in here that your bikes have far fewer miles than mine and some are years older. My question is, is this too many miles for me to plan another cross country trip on this single cylinder? I felt secure on my trip this spring cause it only had a little under 13,000 miles on it when I left. It had more than 19,000 on it when I returned home. This year I want to ride north from Oregon, ride across Canada, drop down the east coast and tour some civil war battlefields. I have checked out alot of new bikes, and frankly, I had so much fun on my Savage, and it was so dependable, that I decided that if I purchase a new bike, its going to be another Savage. Im just not sure if its time yet! This one seems to be holding up quite well! But I surley wouldnt want it breaking down out in the middle of nowhere. is this getting to be a high mile bike that I should consider trading it in or you think I have alot more miles left on it without a lot of major repair?
