2005 with 34,800 miles.
Started life in the States, but I shipped it to Germany for a bit of high velocity playtime on the Autobahns near Cologne. I then rode it down to Italy for a year of working and riding in the Dolomites. Considering the hours that thing has spent buzzing down the highway at over 9000 revs in top gear... she's pretty tough.

Bought July 07 used 3K miles.

close to 12000 miles but half of them were spent with a -1 front. So add 13% more to 6000 = 650 mies.
