If it lasted 128000 k it shows that it was look after, otherwise thing would have gone wrong already. I tend to think engine is ultra reliable and strong...but all the rest frame, electrics may need attention, bearings, electrics corrosion, echaust cosrrosion...
So if there is no noise, leak or smoke Jens Eskildsen says he got 107 k on it same for mine 98 XTE 100 000K and runs perfectly! I was going to do a rebore and top end rebuild but all I need was just a valve check and valve stem seal change.
On the other hand I bought an old 95 ducati monster with 72 000 km on the bike and I was told 25 000 k for these was high mileage!!
But it was an honest looking bike, well look after,...when most people says ducati are unreliable, electrics are terrible....mecanics is mecanics it's not magic, everything worns out after a while, but if bike seems ok so I got it and I commute to work ever since I got it last year while I'm rebuilding my XT( mainly to respray and derust)
