Montgomery Ward Riverside (Benelli) 250 single, new 1969, 4 months, crashed. I was young then, and immortal. That's why they taught 17 year olds to fly P-51's.
Yamaha SR500 new 1979. 4 years. Put it in the class of 3 or 4 cars I have owned, wish I still had it.
Yamaha XS1100 1981, bought lightly used in '91. Sold when our son came along, 3 years.
Honda CB1100 2013, 3.5 years and counting.
So an average of just under four years, but the current bike will continue to drag that average up for the foreseeable future.
pdedse, why the short tenure for the SR 650's, and why two? Inquiring minds want to know...
And best of luck with the illness, whatever it is.
