Curious to see how many miles people have on their Hypers and what has needed to be done to the high mileage ones.

the desmo duo motors are fairly bullet-proof, if you maintain them properly (i.e.: oil/filter changes with quality oil, check/replace belts as required, check/adjust valves as required).

i have just under 24,000 miles on my 08 hypertard now.

had well over 50,000 on my 900ss.

The 1100ds motor isn't much different than the motor that all started with a couple of decades ago.I know of 2 valve monsters with 100,000kms on them with only a couple of shim changes.

ive seen desmos w/75k or more w/proper maint...and still got lots of torque!

That's because you keep insisting on running a stock motor with no modifications... The more mods, the longer life. Right...?

I don't have that many miles on my 796 - 10K. But I did take it to Alaska this summer just because the nay-sayers thought it was a bad idea. No issues.
