I´ve owned an 88 mille since 1989. It´s on it´s 52nd rear tyre which relates to approx 500,000 kms. Showing a bit of wear and tear nowadays. Done a few gearbox bearings, a couple of uni joints and needed a re-wire. Very reliable and good handling bike. It even got me over a wombat at 120kph at 11.30pm, Thank God for spoke wheels I reckon. Love to hear from any other mille owners to compare notes.
