Mileage
I'm curious, I've had my Hyper 796 for 10 weeks now and have done 3200 miles so far, weekly average 320 miles. Many people I speak with seem to think this is high
What sort of mileage per week would be considered average in your experience?

as long as you can afford $$$$ the maintenance, tires, brakes etc., it's never too high.

If you use it to commute to work that not too high.

Sorry to read of your loss, your milage and commitment, not to mention the presumed reliabilty of your experience is outstanding. Did you use standard maintenance intervals?

I do about 15k miles a year, but I walk to work (1/2 mile each way, 4x/day). If I had to commute, it would be more.
Now that summer's over, I'll go back to doing 40 mile rides at lunchtime in the Alps (too hot in summer)

Yeah. I followed the intervals like a good boy should seeing as i work at a dealership lol. I had to no relabiltiy problems with her at all. I changed the oil every 3000 to 3500 miles an did the service when i was supposed to. She always ran like a champ an not once left me stranded.
