Outside this forum I've seen a few people on Instagram and YouTube with over 20k km (12,400 mi) in Japan. Don't think any of them were stock at that point.

Meaning they had to replace piston and/or cylinder? The reason I'm asking is I bought the bike as a daily. I pound out around 6-10k miles a year.

Not that they had to, but that they have. I think people who ride a lot often find themselves wanting to change things on a bike - that's not always the case, but it often is. If the bike fits your needs then there's no need to change it, but there are a lot of situations where having a little more power than the bike has in its stock form makes it more usable. As for reliability, just look at Groms, I don't think you'll have significant issues with this bike as long as you keep up on the maintenance. In its stock form the bike isn't really pushing any parts too hard, so should hold up well.

I put 3,000 miles on a '15 Grom a couple of years ago (not all at once, it took me a couple of years to get it to that number) and other then maintence I never touched the engine; just left it stock and let it do it's thing. Same to with my TW200 which has 11,500 miles on it. That bike has a few mods, but the engine is bone stock. I plan on following the same philosphy with my Trail.

Earlier models [ CT 110 s ] were used by the Postal Service in there thousands here in Australia. Had seen many with upwards of 40,000 kilometers. These things were flogged pretty hard and according to their riders servicing was hit and miss. Having said that , these were only as city bikes and would imagine not subjected to wide open throttles for extended periods. Not one of the riders I spoke could remember any mechanical issues. After two to three years these were auctioned off and began a second life with private users. Spotted one of these the other day with 85,000 k.
