By the very nature of life, leccy cars are going to have clever boxes (and depend on them). Its a question of we can so we will.
It gives you modern diesels that will do 135mph and 35 + mpg, all sorts of options/bleepy noises/useful features and fluppin ginormous repair bills as you cannot access the tech.
Can i have a rust free triumph 2500 automatic estate on lpg please.

Maybe but I removed the rust free part to increase the possibility a bit.

My modern 135mph diesel would only do 35mpg if there was something severely wrong with it.

They used to be rust free...about a week after they were built.demographic wrote: ↑Fri Jan 01, 2021 9:39 pmMaybe but I removed the rust free part to increase the possibility a bit.

Re: The expected longevity of a new bike?
A mate of mine had a BMW 320D as a company car about 10 years ago which averaged 55mpg. You can probably get a 2005/6 E90 for a grand.David wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 12:08 amOne o them bmeer tings?Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Fri Jan 01, 2021 10:05 pm My modern 135mph diesel would only do 35mpg if there was something severely wrong with it.

Re: The expected longevity of a new bike?
Funny thing tho....cars, which are mainly used as utility vehicles to do a job, left out in the rain and generally neglected apart from an annual oil change, last for years. Bikes, mollycoddled, garaged, dry days only...how many of them do you see in use at 15yo? An example (of 1, yes I know) - my son has an 02 Golf Tdi 130 with 284k miles. It's just needed a cvj boot and anti roll bar bushes for its MOT - carry on, sir. There are thousands of old, high mile VWs, Pugs and others giving great service. Bikes? Comparatively very expensive, but a different story re longevity.

Re: The expected longevity of a new bike?
I see quite a few 60k plus bikes on t'bay, especially if you look at BMWs or Goldwings, Pan's, etc...
I think the reason you don't see many super high mileage bikes compared to cars is that they're much more likely to be stolen or written off before they reach mega miles.
