Well, I do put miles on. 14K+ since I got it in November. I probably wont put *that* much on in the next 12 months, but I bet I get to 10K anyway. I ride my bike.

If I wanted to go for a nice Sunday drive I'd take my car.

Right - I meant 14K *per year*. You know someone who puts 150K/year on a bike? Heck, I dont know anyone that puts more than 14K/year on, at least nobody that isnt retired!

its not the amount of miles,its how its ridden.if you ride fairly normal,a lower end most likely wont move in 1000 or a 150,000.if your doing holeshots & crap,it could move in 1 mile
