RE: Drive Belt
If it's maintained properly, you should get 60-100,000 miles.

Ditto that. \\; Just keep an eye out for embedded rocks and other crud that can shorten its life.

RE: Drive Belt
make sure it's adjusted properly and installed properly after tire changes, and it will last 60K +, I go through them every 30K for some reason...but my situation is not typical I guess:

The belt on my 2005 1200C has broken twice. \\; Once at 5,000 miles, and once at 55,000 miles.

I have over 40,000 on mine, it appears to be in fine condition. \\; Hopefully, it's not bad luck to say that.
