Hallo Nige!
Dein Deutsch ist grossartig!
Ich wohne in der Nähe von Frankfurt/Main im Bundesland Hessen.

That's where they produce (AND DRINK) the world renowned Äppelwoi (that would be a cidre in English!?)...

Prost!

Got another question to throw out there.....what would you say is the life expectancy of an 865 Bonneville engine ? OK I know there are a thousand factors, servicing, new parts, how it's ridden, how it's maintained, etc. Let's just say all things being done as and when required to a good standard and ridden conscientiously, how many miles do you think the engine will stay 'tight' for ? I'm asking because I've found another to be taken into consideration but it has a lot more miles on it. I'm not going to be doing huge mileages each year or great distances and can afford a genuine Triumph service annually so once bought it will be meticulously maintained for the duration of my ownership. Do you think that if once bought, I got a major service and updated ecu tune that it will matter less, that it is high mileage (35k), to start with ? The bike looks as though it has been cared for although only showing two dealership services, (waiting to find out if previous owner did some themselves), I ve read that the 20k service is supposed to be virtually a major overhaul ? It's ten years old so that's only 3.5k a year which isn't a lot, is it ? Appreciate any feed back thanks

I would work on at least 100k if it is looked after.
I know some of the high mileage Triumph users on the forum like Capt and biglad have done much higher mileages.
