    Yep, regular oil changes is the best thing. My R100/7 had over 300,000 using paper filters.

    I just looked at the 2015 F700GS today, I love the look of that bike. Wonder how it drives. Price was crazy though.

    I know a guy who got over 1 million miles on his beemer. I'll never do that, I'm fair weather rider now, I have nice comfy cars to drive in bad weather. 5k miles a year now is plenty for me. So, if I get 20 years out of this bike, that would be about 80 for me as well. I seriously doubt I will keep it that long. Too much cool technology. That and these bikes are going to be dropping fast when they start breaking. It will be too expensive to fix these.

    I agree, don't think that they'll ever be "Classic" bikes & the spare parts won't be around for very many more years years

    I'm thinking that three of the biggies would be: Chain Slider, Cush drive rubber and ECU. All bike specific.

    I'm not sure on the Terra wheels, but I would imagine the cush drive rubber for the Strada wheels are the same as the G650GS, no?

    EDIT: The same part number is listed for both the terra and the strada wheel. I'm only assuming that since the strada wheel is direct from the G650GS, then the rubber is as well. This may or may not be correct.

    EDIT 2: Husky Part: 2345789, BMW Part: 27712345789. Me thinks they is the same.
