Compared to the really high strung Supermotos the ones Antwanny is looking at are low maintenance. With the racing oriented models you are looking at oil changes (motor and tranny) every 3-5 hours. Valve adjustments are in the 10-15 hour range. 100 hours is considered good longevity out of a top end. Bottom end is probably 250-300 hours.

If you figure a 35mph average the maintenance gets involved and expensive quickly.
