No, this is IMPORTANT and it needs to be DISCUSSED.

And if we’re going to stupid extremes the average F1 service costs £40,000 a year with a £100,000 fuel tank every 5 years so I don’t think someone who can afford a Valkyrie will give a crap if it needs a rebuild which will cost a few hundred grand after 5 years.
The problem with broad generalisations is that they are all comolete and utter shite.

Seeing as I don’t own one or know someone who owns one I can only go off what I’ve read from owners on the internet.

You've polled the opinions of several Valkyrie owners?

You're asking how tractable a 6.5 litre V12 will be.....
Yes. Since it revs to >11krpm and has a 7krpm torque peak.
It's a quesion. I dont know the answer.
Just because peak is at 7k doesn't mean it's only going to have 5lb/ft until 6950rpm

Remember the fuss about the Veyron and it needing tyres and wheels every so often, an engine rebuild at 30k, 60k doesn’t really seem that big a deal anymore does it?

It does not. This thread has an unusually high level of retardation.

Mechanically a test bed will be far more torturous than any road or track miles.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they would easily do double that mileage.
That is a gem of engineering, there is a lot of life and development left in the IC engine yet.
