16,000 + miles
By (I am an Owner) on Dec 25, 2019I bought this bike new in 2008 rebuilt engine at 10,000 miles ,updates like new intake lifter buckets .i had and have many types and kinds and this is the most fun of all .still the quickest Motard of It's size even 701 or 690 husky ,KTM cannot run with it kind close until 80 mph then the SXV pulls ... a way in hurry.. You can't beat cylinders and a 11.000 rpm ceiling. Love this little bike. Gear it up until 118 mph is reached before the engine hits it's Rev limiter and it will last on the street.And even with an exhaust and race map tune it get up to 43 MPG.

Not horrible!
By (I am an Owner) on Oct 19, 2011I've only had it for six weeks and I don't have much to compare it to but I've ridden it as much as I could in that time and I can't find much wrong with it. It's nice looking, scary powerful, and now that I'm getting used to it a fairly decent ride for what's essentially a competition dirt bike ... with street tires. The only reason I would put less than perfect value is that mileage is less than I expected (could be my riding style) and as far as ride and comfort, well, it's got a dirt bike's suspension so it's not exactly butter and silk. My favorite quote regarding it was "If Klingons rode motorcycles, this is what they would ride."
