Rick Damiani ran his 99 ST for I think it was 116,000 before selling it for 
an 03 Speed Triple.  At this mileage it still ran fine but was using some 
oil.  If its been taken care of, I doubt there should be any mileage 
related problems although they seem to burn more oil as the miles pile 
on.  Not smoking by any means but like 1 quart every 2-3000.  Its quiet 
here and the talk turns to handlebars or some such because in reality these 
thins just don't break that much.  There are some issues but nothing that 
can't be fixed easily.  The worst in my opinion being the fuel line, but 
its fixable.

It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end to end, someone
would be stupid enough to try and pass them.
