I'm not sure if anyone on the list has that many miles on yet. I know a
couple off list that do and have sent them both emails. I haven't received
any panic emails from them though, so I assume all is well (I'm sure I
would hear from them if there was a problem)
A couple of the early bikes have gone through a couple radiators, but other
than that most of the things have been pretty minor. Plus I have never had
a problem with the warranty (which you will have for 2 yrs) and there is an
extended policy available. Also, the shop in Orlando (on Old Winter Garden)
is awesome - if you have any concerns, go in and talk to Thad - he is the
service manager and has never left me hanging on a service issue. The ST
marks the 3rd new Triumph I have purchased at Cycle Riders .... and believe
me I wouldn't have been back if I was not satisfied with the marquee AND
the service after the sale.
Hope that helps a little
