Yes. I have had my 1250 for five and a half years now - put more than 60,000ks on it (remember, I have two bikes, so I ride the other one during the week - the 1250 is my weekend/long distance bike)
I love it. That's the value for me ... I don't really care about the cost or price I could sell it for .. my being is invested in this bike (my wife knows never to ask which comes first, her or the bike ... she knows which choice i have made in the past ...) just as my being has been invested in bikes I have previously owned, ridden for years and finally sold because it was no longer practical to run them.
The value is enjoying the ride and knowing that the 1250 will get me from Whakatane to Christcurch and back (the longest way possible) with no issues ...
Enjoy yours ...
