  • what is XS high mileage??????

    OK, I'm probably stepping in it up to my knees but here goes:
    With proper maintenance and a reasonable amount of respect for the machine what kind of mileage can be expected on an XS before it's time for a rebuild or the boneyard? What is the highest mileage for one on this list without major internal rebuilding?
    I have a bet going with a friend and If'n I win I'll enjoy AT LEAST half a free beer on a hot day.
    Thanks

    Check the following poll and thread out:
    http://www.xs11.com/forum/showthread...t=mileage+poll

    Based on the answers, it's reasonable to assume if everything is done correctly and nothing out of the expected happens, 50,000 miles is well within reason for an average XS11...there are those that have gone over 100,000 with no major repairs...
