That could translate to 10 years of service without too much effort mechanically knowing that the valves need to be checked periodically. For most riders, a 5-8 thousand mile per year is a average. It's rare that a rider took the bike out to its limits on engine wear. Suzuki expected most Boulevard riders to upgrade to bigger bikes within the Suzuki family. For most buyers, the bike was a cheap purchase (compared to other bikes) and meant as a starter bike. In my opinion, Suzuki created a bike that had components that were inexpensive to produce, assemble and therefore have a medium life expectancy. I'm running close to 57k now and expect to take it much more. There are many riders here who have put 10's of thousands of problem free miles. If you decide to sell it at 25k, it may be due to wanting a bigger bike based on your needs have changed with the type of riding you want to do going forward. Well, I would not sell it at 25k just because you think the timing chain might crap out soon.
