2003 999S Bip, 4000 miles in 6 months, totally reliable so far, with the exception of the occasional hot-engine stall.

I HOPE I haven't set myself up here! (Touch fingers, cross wood, etc.)

My 999's nearly 2 years old,6k+ miles,only problem so far was a weak battery,replaced under warranty.
There have been a couple of little niggles,but nothing to spoil the enjoyment of a great bike.
