I´ve had the same bike since 2004. It had 9600 kms on it when I bought it. Now over 112,000 and just keeps on rolling. Tires, batteries and brakes have been the only repairs required. I also pull a Leisure-lite trailer. The bike has lots of grunt throught the mountains. Great bike. Only downside is that the new ones still come stock with a cassette, just like they did in 2001 and before.,
