Mine needed it's first top end job at about 40,000. At 75,000, it definitely needed to be bored. I doubt very much any of these could go 100,000 without some serious work.As to whether it has 100K+ miles on it.. very doubtful. While the odd one will make it there, it would have to be extremely well maintained w/regular valve adjustments, oil changes, etc. Most bikes profit from a top end rebuild around 60,000 miles. The state of your bike is not unusual and should run all day long like it is
