I would get the 1275 kit in case of an engine rebuild - it’s gonna hurt the pocket anyway and might as well get more zip in the bargain

That sounds like a great idea however I put a lot of miles on my bikes and I don't know how much longer this beast is gonna last. So the extra $4k just isn't feasible for me right now. I love the feedback though!!

I have 96k on it and it has had 2 top end rebuilds. I average about 25k a year.

1st rebuild was at 50k and I am uncertain why it needed it, just trusted the mechanic....especially since it was under warranty. 2nd rebuild was due to a blown head gasket.

They ain’t called stealerships without reason.
my antique Enfield 350 had the same mileage without any rebuild and that little 350 racked most on the highway !

the sporty is supposed to last almost forever or close enough
