I am looking to buy one for commuting. Looks pretty rugged - wondering how long I might expect it to last.
I picked up a 2000 late 2004 with just over 5K on it. I live four miles from work, with a 8 to 38 mile daily commute (some days the bike just doesn't want to go home.) Also ran it to OKC and back a year ago, superslab out and two-lane return. It now has over 24K and I really really ought to at least look at the spark plug.
Just put on a set of Metezlers, so it has to last at least another 25K to wear out the front tire.
