Just curious as to the longevity of these Suzuki 500 twins.
My '08 has reached the dizzy height's of.......5800 miles :icon_mrgreen:
However, it was averaging 100 miles per month when I bought it. Since then it is now averaging 561.81 a month. The bike has sprung an oil leak in the last 3000 miles I have had it, and most recently it has developed a starting issue, as if it has a flat battery turning over really slowly. If I knock the choke off, it springs into life :cookoo:
My bike came with a lifetime warranty from the dealer though, so I am not concerned about potential bills.
Overall, so far so good. I intent to ride it 5 days a week until I get fed up of it O0
We just had a thread about this.. I'm at ~32k miles. '95. There is a few with more than me. It's all about how you ride and how well you keep up on maintenance.
Just about to tick over 30,000kms (roughly, 19,000 miles) on my 09. All stock. Runs good, no oil consumption. Nice :thumb:

hmm on the 95 ive put 9k on since i bought it with a mileage discrepancy at 18k. so 27k+ miles, of a very hard life. burns less oil than my 2001 nissan.
.00000000001 light years on my bike and climbing

23k miles, 2007 expecting much more miles, bike runs good.
27,000 on mine with 14,000 put on it by me personally in the last 3 years. It's a '93 and I see no need to rebuild anytime soon. There are few motors out there that can compare to this twin in simplicity and reliability.

Damn, too easy. Only half points for that, lol. :icon_lol:
lol its just a matter of moving the decimal 13 places to the right and multiplying by 6 (yes I am lazy and say a light year is 6 trillion miles) so in my case no I had done 600 miles ;)

I couldn't find the conversion ratios :(
My 2007 and I have traveled together for 29,315,820 smoots (and an ear...).
Trouble free, to boot. I love this bike... but I will wear it out... eventually...
Look it up... it's f'ing hysterical!
:cheers:

So... the ear tops it to 31,000 miles, then?
