High miles V11s


Baldini

Recommended Posts

My 2002 Lemans is at 21,300

I bought it new in 2006.

Problems:

-oil leak from a bad gasket by front cover after a few thousand miles

-5490 miles: had the transmission failure due to the spring

-14,450 miles: rear wheel bearings failed

-and of course, the paint on the engine is bubbled

-occasionally the idiot lights do funny things

 

On the other hand, the bike has personality, it is fun to ride, and it always puts a smile on my face.

Love is always irrational.

My cafe sport has roughly 27000 miles on it. Its on its second speedo and has used 4 or 5 speedo cables. Apart from that only minor issues. I replaced the transmission spring at the 23000 miles mark as i was getting paranoid that it would go soon inthe middle of nowhere, but no, it was in perfect shape and is now my new spare part.

Damn Tracey! I better get on the road! Mine only has 39,000 on it. You probably put that many on the beemer in the same time period though :notworthy:
