Mine is running 2000 miles on the current top end and is showing no signs of wear, that's about 200 hours. Husky motors are way more stout than most MX bikes.

Aprilia doesn't quite have their act together yet though, probably half of those things are basket cases. I pitted next to an Aprilia dealer at a track once and he told me never to buy one
Information like that coming from someone who owns one is good to hear. Intervals are still pretty often, but much better than the rest.
