...and if you didn't tell them, they'd most likely refuse to pay out in case of an accident! Basically Heads they win, Tails you lose.

The X9 has 17500 miles. I do about 1500-2000 miles a year.

I usually commute 1,000 miles a month on mine.

I'd love to see the dealers face when you try to trade it in and you tell him how many miles you've done!!!!

I've already accepted that its trade-in value will be nil, so anything over that will do just fine
Doubt if it will pass its first MoT in October, the fork tubes are very rusty as is the exhaust which might have rusted through by then.
