8500 Klms or 5375 Miles @ 5lts /100 Klms or approx 56MPG. No real problems apart from what appears to be a common Triumph problem in that the gearbox sounds a little whine in 2nd, 3rd & 4th up to about 60Klm or 35MPH.

Absolute fun to ride, that why everyone has a grin on their face.

Hit 20k last week on my '02. $7 total repair cost for a crankshaft sprocket seal. My HD friends are envious.

2004 Speedmaster (bought new in April, 2006) 12,400 miles absolutely no problems at all except the oil pressure sending unit went bad last August- repaired under warranty, probably could have just took it off and dried it as I rode for 300 miles in a down pour. It gets better and better. Have my 12,000 service on July 7th and I know it needs rear brake pads. I get consistent 39 MPG. I have gotten better and worse but overall @ 130 miles I stop or go to reserve. Cruise all day at 75-85 MPH, all I do is check air pressure, lube the chain (and other stuff with chain wax and wd 40), look at the oil sight glass, and keep it clean. Can't find anything wrong- ever!! Gave up looking or expecting any problems- I am anal as hell and am not used to a machine just running and running better and better!
