Outstanding, it must have something to do with the dry heat in Arizona or maybe the Sun Devils

Platini, I did send this milestone to Aprilia USA and Piaggio Group, but haven't heard anything back from them. I only requested first dibs on a V4 sport-tourer...

Wow, 80K on front brake pads and still on original suspension bits...I'm impressed! This gives me lots of hope for the future of my bike. Congratulations!

Still, after 80000miles a couple of bearings (of the kind that are not "continously" lubed) is really something that at least I myself would have expected. 100000miles tells a bit of the "rigidness" of the Rotax V990, right?
 Thanks for the info and keep on riding!

Total respect. At the rate I put on mileage, mine could potentially outlive me.

absolutley awesome!!!!
Unfortunately my 2000.5 RSV "only" made a little over 92,000 before the output shaft bearing blew. New (11,000 mile) motor and I'm back to racking up the miles. Only problem is on the RSV's and I think Tuonos the dash resets back to zero miles at 100,000 kilometers software issue I guess. In kilometers it's still tracking though I'll post up when I reach your "Milestone" pun intended.

Glad to see that the Futura will last that long. I have a ways to go, I'm at 42,000 miles
