There are several carpe members with monster mileages on all the marques.
They'll run to over100k if looked after,
Pick a number and double it

Mines done 95k miles, and if I'm honest I've not be overly kind to it.
Mr Henty was over some weeks back and was impressed with the state of the cams when we did the shims.
I think Celtic has over 120k miles...

The 850 is more prone to burning oil than the 9'er which results in a build up of carbon deposits. The piston rings also wear more quickly on the 850. That said, they're still perfectly useable at 60-70,000 miles, so long as oil usage isn't too excessive, and no reason why a top end refurb wouldn't last another 60-70,000 or more.
I'd deffo recommend you check the oil level on a very regular basis until you get some idea of usage. Some can use a litre of oil or more per 1000 miles.

There was nothing wrong with the cams in dmmsta's bike at all. No pitting or scuffs or scoring, the usual signs of high mileage engine wear. Looking at the inside of the engine, it was very clean so he must have used reasonably decent oil and changed it more or less on time.
These injection engines are clean runners anyway and the ceramic liners in the bores must help with less oil contamination.
After seeing his engine insides at 95k plus, I've no worries keeping my bike until 120k or more, I'll be in an old folks home by then though.
The TDM is not a highly stressed, high revving design anyway, so it ought to last.

New tyre scrubbed and first proper proper roide of the year......what a complete blast. Forget how mush fun TDM after using Dave for winter commute duties.
For me, the TDM is far greater that the sum of its components.
