My 2007 900 has 4006kms on the clock, with absolutely no complaints or regrets.
My Missus' 1999 850 has 47916kms on the clock and looks as good as the day she bought it.

2002 900, from new, now with c.33500 miles, previous was 1996 and put c.22000 miles on that one
nothing major with either -
most startling stat I thought was 29500 miles from 900's front pads
still nothing to beat a TDM so far

1999, got it at end of '02, 8000 on clock. 23,650. I think it's finally run in because fuel economy has improved so much in last 3 months.

Thanks for all the replies.. and from all over the world. 
I should have asked what, if anything, has gone wrong.
I was getting worried that I was putting to many miles on,
but after this,
I can expect well into the 50,000 without too much going wrong by the sounds of it.
Cheers, Ivan
PS.... Yellowasp, it would be criminal to get rid of such a good looking bike...

1999 MkII bought in 2001 with 12,000km on the clock. Now has 67,000km.
The last 800km have been primarily on dirt, sand, gravel and rock - oh and a wee bit of mud too
yeeee-haaaa!!!

Big Bird ,
see you bought it from Newcastle,
I bet some of that 67,000km was riding it from the North-east of England to Austrialia !!!!
Looks in good condition, any major problems?
