This has probably been discussed, but who has the Uly with the most miles on it, and how many miles is that? Anyone cracked 100K? I sold a GS1100 which I'd taken from 4K to 95K and it was running as well as the day I bought it. I don't see why a Uly shouldn't manage this. Or am I being too hopeful.

Turf,

There was a guy blogging a couple of months ago about having 144k miles on his Uly. He commuted something like 100 miles/day year-'round with it.

He was finally "retiring" the bike and replacing it with a BMW. He was tired of chasing all the usual Uly issues with it. Nothing extraordinary, just the usual Uly "stuff". He had alot of good suggestions for high-milers. Don't recall if he started his own thread or used someone else's.

That's excellent. I'll try and find the thread. He may not enjoy having all the usual BMW stuff with his replacement bike, which could well prove much more expensive.

Here is one table we have been keeping to track crank failures. It also tracks some high mileage bikes.

Interesting that some 06 models have had crank failures. I thought it was just the 07s.
