I bought this bike in 2010 with 9000k on it. So I suppose I have ridden the rest since. Apart from regular servicing (and tyres!) it has required a new stator and a new camshaft and follower. The latter was caused by hardening failure on a valve follower (bucket they seem to call them) which destroyed the cam lobe. The former just crapped out.
Still goes like a new one - endlessly purring its way along the road. For a dinky 600, it seems to be pretty well indestructible. I'd get another one.

slow wide open throttler
thats neat, top effort too, shame about the camshaft issue least it was caught before major issues (good servicing agent catching that?)
