Default 88B mileage

Who has the highest mileage on a 88B engine? Highest stock and highest with mods beyond stage one. I am interested in the highest trouble free mileage as well as the lowest mileage resulting in serious damage. I am assuming of course in either case proper maintenence was followed. There are some who say the 88B is not reliable, lets let the facts speak. Thanks.

Default RE: 88B mileage

My bike has the regular 88 "alpha" motor, and it's a modified 88 cuber. low fuel light comes on at 110 miles. That's with the gear down kit, so the bike spins at a higher RPM. I personally don't care about MPG, I want power![8D]
