Way hey! 50 000 miles up on my 748!
Clocked over the 50k mark on my 748 coming home from work yesterday (in foul weather, I might add).

51 reg, collected from dealers on Jan 6, 2002.

Overall it's been/is a great bike, and has taken a lot of stick in bad weather use and so on. No garage so it sits outside in the rain all year round.

"Consumables" include a couple of replacement ignition switches (2nd hand, cheap) probably due to the reason above. One and a half rectifiers (1 new, 1 2nd hand). One opening rocker. Couple of sets of front wheel bearings, ditto steering head bearings (to be expected). OE discs were replaced around 40k (not bad) and I treated myself to 4-pad callipers at the same time, although the original callipers were quite serviceable at the time. So brakes now better than ever.

And a few clutches, of course!


Can I claim the Club 4-valve record?

Excellent stuff, i salute you, and sounds like a club record.

You don't say how much you've spent at the osteopaths though

You've got me done.

I can't believe you've done 50k and only replaced one rocker!

Shaun-can I have the franchise for the ticket sales please??

In the green corner we have the one legged gobby Aussie, and in the red corner the Irish German giant.............should be a good fight.
