I'm guessing few bikes ever get that many miles in 10 plus years of ownership by any owner before either traded or they keep and they never get there. In all my riding the current 2002 GSA in my garage is the only one that has ever passed 100,000 miles.
At this point I intend to keep my RS until it quits, which I hope is not for a long time. I would certainly like it to exceed 100k. I know that your bike is not ridden hard and is well maintained at the dealer, so it is a good indicator of the robustness of the model.
So far it seems that the low beam connectors are a weak part but at a relatively low cost (for the non-BMW part) that can be seen as wear and tear. Hopefully the micro-switches are not a widespread issue.
