Less than 10,000 miles a year. Easy to do if you commute on it. Pleasantly surprised that he hasn't had to split the cases but I'm certain he's had the top end gone through once (or twice.)
(If he's a gentle rider I'm guessing that he hasn't had to touch the transmission either.)

Well, he's got me beat. I'm only at 200K miles on mine. Of course, I have only 109K on the current motor, but the transmission and clutch are original.
Looks like I have a ways to go yet.

18 years old at 10,000 only comes to 180,000 ( at max ) on your figures.

Still, when I was commuting here in NC mostly on my bike, 20,000 miles wasn't too tough to run up.I'm impressed with the guys that do that mileage just riding around!
