How many miles are on your America / Speedmaster?

How many miles can you run the America / Speedmaster before an engine rebuild, if you maintain proper maintenance? Is 100,000 mile realistic? Thank you

I've heard someone say 100000km (about 62137miles) without the need to anything (but normal maintenance).

I have only 40000km (about 24855miles) on my bike so far so I guess I don't start to worry just yet.

Only got 800 miles on my '10 Speedy (registered Oct 09) due to the bloody terrible weather we've had here. I've ridden to work 3 times in total, the rest of the time it would have been impossible without some kind of snowmobile conversion kit!

Just over 22,000km on my '05 Speedy (4,000 are mine, put on in the last 3 months). Just about to have the valve clearances checked in the next couple of weeks.

Thumbs up

Just passed the 55000 mile mark on mine. I believe 100,000 will be no problem at all.
