Mine is my daily driver, bought 2 1/2 years ago with 96,000 on it, now up to 132,000 :) Only let me down once, and that was when the water pump packed up recently.

When I dont cycle to work (trying to get a bit fitter...) my 968 is my daily drive.
Today used it to deliver a load of metrology kit to a customer.
I had to be SOOOO careful round the roundabouts in Milton Keynes.
Its to easy to forget the expensive equipment in the boot :oops:

My 968 is used everyday for the 64 mile commute from Somerset to Bristol, just had her 12000 service, and just tripped over 135,000 on the clock, has never let me down, and still brings a grin to the face in 'third gear', when the BMW's 'ask you to move over' on the M5 :lol:

I use mine everyday too :P mind you its not THAT old so I dont rate highly in the hero stakes.

Well done to all those that have one and use it every day, i bet the bills are lower when used as they should be?

I use my 968 most days for my 60 mile round trip commute from Thame to Bracknell and it is good fun, I get pretty good mpg and my roads consist of about 20 miles motorway and 10 miles of back road :D the latter gives me the most grins

Daily drive again due to Suzuki unreliability. Feels great but the fuel gauge dips alarmingly quickly. :roll:

Use mine every evening.

Had an s2 before, used that everyday.

Wish I had more time to drive it more often...

Use my S2 whenever it is not dry enough to use the motorbike, so quite often, commuting, running kids around, shopping and most other stuff, not let me down yet.
