It looks as if you have kept the maintenance up quite well, and you say it is a "mod", so who ever did the mods, knew what they were doing. This has been discussed before, and the milage some people have on their Savage is beyond what some cars get. All I have to say is, my 06 S40 is still new as far as milage goes, only about 4800 miles, but I plan on keeping the preventive maintenance done, and I also am a conservative rider. As long as the Savage/S40 is taken care of and is not driven as if it is a crotch rocket, I would say it should last well ito the six digit area. Unlike some riders, I can not tell what it will top out at, or do I care. I have had my 06 S40 up to a little over 80 and it was not topped out. I shift at conservative speeds (15-20, 25-30, 45-55) without winding it out. DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME, I have nothing against doing mods to get more out of the engine, because some mods are good to improve general performance, but I am not doing any to mine.
I guess the bottom line is that if you take care of it, and only have someone you knows what they are doing, do mods to it, and don't ride it like it is a crotch rocket, it should give the owner many miles and years of VERY enjoyable riding.
IF WHAT THE DEALER TOLD YOU IS TRUE, WHY HAS IT BEEN AROUND FOR 20+ YEARS. I think he is only tying to sell the larger bikes for a larger commission. My dealer tole me the opposite with the same information I have jusy told you. I ride with the Patriot Guard Riders and the "big bike" riders are amased at the performance the S40 has being completely stock, and we do a LOT of highway riding.
