I ride a road legal 2002 xr650r. Was going to ditch it and order a 2016 1299 panigale but decided to leave the 40k in the house. Got till feb 8th 2016 to decide. Xr is fun.

I've had mine for 10yrs, I've toured most of nz on it, I have rebuilt it 4 times, Its now a 695cc highly modded, it is capable of 190kph
mostly I use it for backroad blasting, gravel roadriding, and occasionally trailrides.
stock they last for approx 50k , but there weak point when modded is the little end of conrods, I'm presently using a Carrillo item.
I think the falcon rod is good for stock piston size, but I've eaten a couple of them with ov/sized pistons.. the stock carb is a gas guzzler, I've been using keihin fcr carbs , much improved fueling and milage.
my mate rides his 525 everyday to work....hes a logger so he prob does 100k, these things can do about 120k to a tank....and even better on trail rides

Thanks guys, 160km on standard gearing sounds nice...with a few small changes I'm sure 200km would be possible...I want something with a good top end, but also quick enough off the lights.
