    Bought this bike in the winter of 2006 with about 10,000 miles on it. Intended to fix it up and sell it in the Spring but after putting 90,000 miles on it, I think I'll keep it.

    Original engine, never been opened. Just normal maintanence and things rebuilt like forks, starter, carbs, etc.

    Happy Trails!

    That's impressive and Bikez says they break down after 70k! Guess Yamaha didn't think they would go into 6 digits either. You could print out a matching font white '1' on a black background and put it in front of your rolled over odo. What model is your bike?

    I am about 1/4 of the way towards where you are, however I am only doing around 10k-mi/annually, so I have 7-8 years remaining at current riding limits. Hopefully this will go up in coming years and I can join you in the 100k mile club. Congratulations and keep riding!
