Sure it is. The other side of that story is the guy (on here, I think) who has put 17,000 miles on his in a year and a half with most of it being WFO freeway miles around 75-80 and wonders why he threw a rod (or maybe I should say THE rod, since there is only one).

Not to berate the 250 thumper, mind you, but at that speed it is sure to be near red line and I suspect that most ANY bike ridden for 17,000 miles at red-line would be prone to failure.
