Terrified.
I hit 126,000 and blew mine.
My first one had 130,000 and was still running strong, but I pulled the engine just because I wanted to do a swap. Never did get around to the swap, though.

Btw, current mileage on my '84 GSL is 301,000 km. (approx. 188,000 miles). The wife's '85 GSL has (an indicated) 165,000 miles---- hers was originally sold in California, hence the odometer reading in miles rather than kilometers.

Yeah, same guy said you cant fit a V8 into one either and it would cost $10K dollars to do...

First one I ever had I rode to 337,000 miles on the ORIGINAL engine,it only blew a corner seal and was actually plenty drivable and still did over 100mph with the "blown" engine,all I ever did was change the oil every 1500-2000 miles and I ran a MSD 6AL for ignition and 'el-cheapo gas.
