Excluding usual consumables.. And replaced plastics.. Only one clutch basket to reduce rattle noise..and two cct. And never serviced..just oil n filters done myself..and coolants.. Only had its first valve check done at 60,000. Most were out and probably won't leave as long next time..But bike is purring..still runs like new.. Oh and first clutch cable last week.
Dilemma is what bike next... Came from two triumphs.. 600 and then a 675 to this..and so impressed I find hard to consider anything else when come to retire it.. Not that I see that for a good while
Fwiw, why even contemplate it. It sound like she does everything you want, and still is plenty eager enough to keep you more than satisfied.
I'd say stick with your lovely girl R1ckster, she sure sounds like a keeper to me.

Wow no valve clearances until 60k mind blowing ??? If it's still reliable and you enjoy it I would keep it as it has to be worth more to you than any silly PX offer on another bike.
Got to ask how have you racked up so many miles ? If that's in the twisities mega respect.

Yeah still starts first time..and never let me down yet. Deffo a keeper even if I did get new bike. Was offered 2.5k px on new one lol.. As for mileage every year do Europe trips and even down to faro. Everyday commuting and occasionally trackdays.. Buy last two years been up and down from Stoke to london weekly so that's a big chunk.
