Bike advice needed!

I am embarrassed to say that I don't get more mileage...I have honestly changed bikes so often I don't have to do much chain swapping. 3-6000 miles on the street and thne they get new running gear and taken racing. After a season that one is sold and I start over with a new street bike and rotate stock.

My financial woes put an end to all that and my lil '05 has gone 24000 miles in the 45 months I have ridden her. It is on its second (about to be 3rd chain) thanks to my lazy chain maintenance.

Blasphemers!

I know. Hard to believe. The belt is great. Nothing to adjust, lube, etc...and it's quiet. Not to mention the fantastic feel of the throttle with no chain lash/slop.
