How many miles can you expect to get before you have to do major engine work?

I'm not an authority on engine wear, but wouldn't that depend on how you treat your motorcycle? What I mean is, how heavy you are on the throttle and how you maintain it.

RE: miles

Cuda has a healthy stack on his, I have 52K on mine. I think it would be safe to say that the engine should outlast most peoples odometer readings, being that few actually stack miles on a bike anyway.
