My '15 has just over 93k on it now. I will be riding it a lot this year to include a trip to Oregon. The bike still runs and feels like new. I have done all the maintenance, so I am confident it will be good for another 100k. That's what I am trying for. No failure fears at all. If it happens, it happens. Thought my '07 was hosed. Locked up on my brother. Cleaned the carbon build up and that bike is still going strong at 110k and now my younger brother has it. As others have indicated, my high mileage '15 is worth a whole lot more to me than whatever it might sell for.

I told a few friends I'm riding it to Yosemite next year, they asked how many miles are on it, 75k and they asked do you trust it with that many miles on it!?!? Yes I do, completely.

Knowing I can't get much for it at this point I'll get a S10 to keep it company in a couple years. :D

Well, I'll be making that trip with you out West next year on my '08 AE. I certainly trust the engine for the trip. I just hope I don't have electronic clutch problems. I feel fairly certain the bike won't have any issues. Steel_Gin said I can ride bitch with him if I run into any issues. I think that's what he said......

I'll buy a trailer and mount a seat on top just in case that happens. :lol:

K - so, after reading thru this thread I reckon my "06 with 180K will fetch about $325 to $350
I think I'll keep her next to the '21 Tracer I got a couple months ago
