Around 4 months for me and just over 100 miles.

The Street is by far the best / most fun bike I've ever owned and it's sortcomings (minor though they are) are easy to live with or address with aftermarket bolt-on parts (upgrades).

Now the better weather is here it's clear that I have more confidence to get on the power earlier than I had with any bike I had before when I want to race but it also pulls in any gear making for more relaxed thru-traffic riding than with my old SV650s. In the months since I got rid of the SV I've never suffered any wrist ache as I suffered as a result of being piched forwards onto the SV's low "clip-on" bars.

It's true that slow speed maneuvring is not the Street's strength but that's OK because that's not what I spend most of my time doing and if it was I'd go get a 125cc commuter.
