Hey guys,
Newbie here. I wanted to say first how great of a site this is. I kinda came upon it by accident. I have been reading many of the previous threads and have found some very good information. Anyway, about a month ago I purchased a near mint 2001 RC51 with 13,000 miles (now 15,000). And I have to say it is the most fun bike that I have ever riden. Basically what I wanted to know was who has the highest mileage RC51 so I kind of know what kind of mileage I can expect from mine. And what if anything has gone wrong with it or what has needed replacing? I dont really care about the mileage for resale value because I will probably run this thing til it dies then probably end up buying another one. I just feel like I am going to rack up miles super quick on this thing since once I get on I just cant get off. I put 2,000 on in less than a month and thats not even riding it everyday. I just dont want to kill it before I am done paying for it! I mean I dont beat mine by any stretch, if anything I kinda baby it too much except when Im hitin the twisties. :waytogo: Thanks in advance guys, any response will be greatly appreciated and hopefully stop me from worrying so much!
