 Would you buy an ST SE limited with 26k miles ???
What can I expect for longevity on a 998 motor w 26k on it ?? My wife has the RS S w 8000 miles and its ok so far ...
just hate to spend $13k on a ltd. with that many miles . Give me your thoughts please..

There are a few 998's out there with 100,000 miles. At 26K, the 998 is just getting broke in well. Also keep in mind, the average person puts about 3,000 miles on in a year. That's potentially 25 years of service if you are "average."
I don't think the 998 is going to crash and burn any time soon.

I have a 2013 STL and love it. (Just got back from a 100 mile ride, some of it in the rain.) I wouldn't hesitate to buy soothe, but $13k might be a little high. Depends on the year, warranty, and farkle.

Where I come from that's 25 years at 3000 miles a year. Maybe that's that new math?

Typo fixed above. 75,000/3,000 = 25. Good catch.

I have put 28,000 miles on my 2014 ST-L and it is running great. Haven't had any issues at all. I did have the hose leak for the antifreeze but that's it. I put on about 90 miles a day going to work round trip. I'm not concerned in the least about taking it anywhere....besides oil changes and new tires. It is a good solid bike.

Like Nike ... "Just Do It"
My 2014 ST Limited traveled throughout Canada and the Midwest USA last year. Almost 24,000 km. Piece of cake and never looked back.
