Keep us posted on how the bike performs. My 2014 RT has 39k and I'm planning on keeping until I have reached 100k. I do all my own servicing and keep the bike very clean so have zero corrosion and see no reason why the bike should not be able to do the miles. We will see.
How reliable a bike will be with high milage surely depends hugely on how those miles are ridden. If the bike is abused or maybe used in heavy stop start traffic then one could expect more engine and brake wear. On the other hand if the milage is more touring and ridden with some mechanical sympathy then with modern oils and regularly servicing I see no reason why engine / gearbox / drive / brakes should not last.
Is 95k too many
