I just cannot see this type of power being relaible for serious mileage.
Without a very strict and expensive service schedule.
Enlighten me????

its running on the happy side of 300 doing 120miles a day
total mileage = 105,000 and rising
admittedly I get fuel card from work and only pay about £50 pcm tax to include private mileage.
with well chosen mods and a realistic budget 300 is possible out of a classic, the ptw ratio is a little bit friendlier as well
