As Zaph42 mentioned, I could probably get twice that much. I put in 400-500km on 2-day practice trackday. About 100-150km on race weekends. Since I'm not running GP team trying to win each and every race, I don't need max-performance at every single outing.
Also changing to less racy configuration should extend durability quite a bit. Such as 2-ring pistons instead of 1-ring. Oil-formulations have improved significantly in past several decades, Motul 800 is way better than castor oil. Wheel-bearings with actual seals and grease instead of open for squirting oil in before each session. Having case-covers over dry-clutch basket should improve lifespan significantly (looks like margarine tub would do nicely).
