23K on mine and no problems to report. Some people complain about the straight cut 5th gear. It can be noisy but RedLine Heavy Shockproof took care of that. I ride the crap outta mine very day!

No problems with 07 NT. There are other threads on this though. Here's a recent one.

Boomer Bob..
thanks for the link, my main worry was the crankshaft problems I read about before but it seems like that was pretty isolated.
