CBRFanatic Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I've got a '98 with 50K or so miles. Aside from a few scratches, it loks and runs as good as new... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I heard of the courier in Europe that had over 450k on one ... even if thats KM's its impressive, but I think its in miles. Would like more info if any one has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennis Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Not sure about high mileage owners, but I can almost guarantee the lowest odometer reading. My '03 with 8K was totaled last July and I found a new replacement while in the emergency room. Brought it home in December and have been drilling, cutting, grinding, soldering, etc. over the winter. Just back to work after 8 months off [surgeries, therapy, etc.] and I can't wait to get back on the proverbial horse. Hoping for 10-12K this year.
