Default over 100k miles help please

So, if your bike is even close to 100k I would really appreciate hearing how well your bike is holding up and how hard you ride.
I am selling my 02 since I bought an 08, and my neighbor is very interested but anxious about my bike's 60,000 miles. I think it's pretty much bullet proof but hearing from y'all would definitely help so thanks so much in advance......

low tech motor, not real tight tolerances. its like a briggs motor, it will chug along forever if you treat it right..or even sort of right. and change the fluids once a year or so.

Hey I'm new to the forum I own a 06 with over 98000 miles and it runs great I get about 120 miles out of a full tank so I don't see why his concern about it.

A local guy bought my '02 when it had about 59,000 miles on it. That was in the spring of '08 and when I spoke to him last he had only ever had one small electrical glitch that turned out to be a non issue.

And I had used my bike quite hard ... burnouts etc. He is a calm driver and you'd never guess that bike had spun the tire.

I had put it back to stock except for VBAK (Churchkey's), AIS block and Barnett clutch conversion.

These are a hearty breed !
