1/98-5/99 '97 M2 #1: 18K+
8/99-4/01 '00 M2 #2: 15K+
5/01-Now! '97 M2 #3: 13K+ (7K by previous owners)

Total ~40K (me) + 7K (others) miles = 47K miles in 4 years

No problems worse than a bad kickstand switch on the first '97 M2.

This photo was taken this summer on a ride thru West Virgina with racerboy. The bike now has 49,909 miles. BUT, I just took the body off for a little paint work, and getting ready to increase the bore and do a little head work. It's a 97 S3T with an all stock engine putting 83hp and 82 torque to the ground. My goal is 100 hp and as much torque as I can get.
40,000

Ok so my heads were switched from stock Lightning to Thunderstorm prior to delivery of the bike to the first owner, so I think it still qualifies under the rules:
98S1 (Thunderstormed at 0 miles) = 22,815

No rocker box gasket leaks (probably as a result of careful assembly by a caring technician, not the factory), the cases weep oil when driven extended periods at high RPM. Dyno=87HP at 20,000 miles.

Somedays I wish it would go Cecil on me so I could justify Nallin's 1250 kit, but so far I'm happy with it.

V2win,

are you doing the headwork yourself or sending them to someone? I had mine done by Cycle-Rama. They did a great job, got me 92.1 torque & 93.7 hp with a Force pipe with no baffle & stock bore/stroke. A bit less torque & more hp with the baffle.

I see there are some bikes here with some pretty good mileage. Gives me hope that mine will last quite a while, especially with the forged pistons that were installed.

18,000 miles. The first 7,000 were DEMO miles.
Valve seals were shot. Used 1 quart every 400 miles.
Waiting for my Nallinized heads and cylinders. Planning to go at least another 18,000. Maybe then I can pick up a Firebolt for $5k.

got the same bike sept. 28 and just did my 5k service. the guy i helped get into riding bought his classic a little over 1.5 yrs ago and had it in for 30k. he's only been riding for maybe 3.5 years and getting to turn 61 in a couple years. and to top things off he went off and bought an 01 low rider to sport around on. never thought he would enjoy it that much.
