I'm afraid is might be too much to ask. However, my 02 Tiger has lasted well I think. It didn't have a good start when, on its first trip across the channel, it was parked by an open hatch on the car deck and it got completely coated in sea spray when we were caught in a force 8 gale.
6 years and 50000 miles later in places it's showing its age now but there's nothing extraordinary compared to other bikes I've had including a BMW.
I have to say 1050kr, that you quote a 6K mileage in 3 years on your BMW and you say you use it all year. Well, you can't be out for long, can you?
I recommend that you get out more and just enjoy the bike and stop worrying what it looks like down at you nearest posing place. As the Triumph motto says :- "Go your own way".
