I don't feel a basket should wear in 15k. The only bike I ever owned suffering from this was a Honda Africa Twin, which is known for this problem, and that was at 45k.
And 15k "excessive" mileage? How ridiculous, I have done over 30k per year for a period of 7 years as a contractor on BMW, Honda and Ducati (believe it or not, 66k on an ST4s![[Image: good.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif)
) and never had warranty issues with anyone.
It's frustrating enough bikes are considered toys rather than tools by some, but if bike manufacturers themselves start hiding themselves behind this argument things are really looking grim and sad. I mean, you can buy the cheapest pathetic car on the market and the clutch will last you 100 - 150k hands down. And it won't rot at the first of winter either![[Image: rolleyes.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif)

Funny you should say that - my 98 1800 Mondeo has done 151,000 miles and its on the original clutch, exhaust and alternator etc!

Two bikes, still only four cylinders!
