Very good 
I do 10 miles daily so I should get many more years out of my super 8

Mine's pushing nearly 30000 mostly commuting miles and counting. Engine's OK. Can't say the same about the electrics.....

30,000 miles, wow.
I just put 10w30 full synthetic in engine and new gear oil. Waiting on new air filter, iridium plug and front brake pads.

Yes, 30000 of fairly punishing miles too I must add cos where I live its mostly city riding; plenty of stop & go traffic, plenty of traffic lights, and plenty hot too (about 30 to 34 degrees celcius everyday....). Tyres & brakes take a good beating daily....

I have 20,000 kilometers or about 12000 miles on my People 150. Engine runs like a top. I would expect to get 30 to 50k out of the engine with proper maintenance. I know of a guy with an Automoto GY6 with 70 thousand miles!
