Hi,I bought mine (black and blue) (now totally black after a close discussion with a 4x4) in 2000 : 50000 km and now it is 105 000 km with no problems no oil consumption nothing wrong Some strange sounds sometimes but till now it runs well and it is acceptable for an ´old´ engine. I bought recently a 955 i and to be honest even if it is more ´funny´ cause more easy I keep a special ´affection´ for the so-called ´old one´ REally a very very good motorcycle easy to ride despite the weight which is a little bit too high for a woman.
