I think if you ride above the 9,000 foot level in the mountains that is high milage. (i got that one in before Frank)

Serious though I have an 06 with 42,000 miles and no problems. There is a guy that has way over 100,000 miles on the RSR site.

I guess that depends if you are keeping, buying or selling. If you got one new and took care of it, ride it till the wheels fall off. You will know when its time to get rid of it. If buying? I wouldnt buy anything over 12K. You have no idea how its been taken care of. If I was selling? 25K. I guess it all depends where you stand.

I hear the 08's are good for about 1500 miles, you should be good to go for a month or two.

Yes, its done, I'll burden myself by taking it off your hands. I will do this for free out of the generosity of my own heart.

Is that the stock color? Man that's awesome! Might have to trade my 07 in for the 08, after all, I have way too many miles on mine now, must be at least 2000 now.

That's only because we're on this site so much not because of the cold weather
