10 years 70k miles
I bought a used 08 250r with 800 miles 10 years ago. Now it is almost 70k miles. The bike still runs well. I only did major maintenance twice (Carb Sync at 20k and 40K). Plan to ride to 80 or 90k.

I have heard of some bikes reaching 100K so getting to 90K should be very attainable.

Yeah the Koso design has a goofy layout. No speed was recorded because I was half duck walking/half letting the engine just pull me forward slowly around a parking lot.

ram. get the harbor freight 1/4 drive torque wrench. it's the perfect size. verify and keep track of your spark plug well gaskets(looks like the number eight)if these are forgotten you will massive oil leaks. cam phasing/timing is critical of course. my top cylinder hold down bolts were dry rotted. check yours.
