mileage?

Greetings All, My 2003 RSV Mille is due an MOT and I reckon the rear tyre will fail. I am a very steady rider and should really buy a slow bike (!), but luv the RSV looks and everything about it. Given my steady pace I'm looking to get some tyres that will last for a few thousand miles longer...

I thought it'd be interesting to find out the average and highest milages on our Rotax engines, I know they can last a long time, but how long before they break??? Mine is a 2001 RSVR and is on 18000 miles :thumbup
