Bought a used 2009 TMEC enduro in November 2012. Commuted on it daily, year round 33 miles a day until I bought a new TMEC 200 enduro in the spring of 2014. Commuted on it M-F 33 miles a day in the hot spring of southern AZ, through the harsh, hot summer of southern AZ, into fall until a lady ran me off the road into a curb on a two lane left turn. I was in the outer lane, she was in the inner lane--green arrow for us, she turned, and changed lanes, wrecking the bike. Banged parts back into place, and after two months of nursing myself back to health (I worked in a prison as a teacher, and prison rules do not allow one to work with broken bones) continued riding the battered bike daily. I put on 6000 miles a year, so got about 12000 miles out of the new bike, most of them after the accident. Heck, I still have that bike, but minus the wheels/tires, lol. Free for the taking, BTW, but you have to go to Yuma to pick it up--I am not shipping it...
