    Hi everyone

    Just thought that i would share with the group that today I went for a long very enjoyable ride in Tassie and my 1998 Trophy1200 clicked over 150,000 km ( which is 93,000 miles):)

    Pulls like a train, smooth power delivery, doesn't use any oil - why would I ever sell her for a new electronic - laden motorcycle? These motors are so massively over engineered , the valve clearances are still at spec! It seems like it will go forever. I use full synthetic oil changed every 10000km also a new oil filter.

    Every now and again I get the 'new bike urge' but when I go for a ride on the Trophy it just goes away

    Here to the next 150,000 KM:cool:

    Cheers
    Gary

    Hi Gary,
    Early in 96' there was a 92' trident 900 that had done 250,000 as a courier bike in London. That would be miles.

    So you have a ways to go ...!

    Hey Capt

    Yes I have a long way to go to catch up with that Trident - I do remember the story - but I am enjoying working on it :cool:
