Hum okey i guess im better off just buying a 690 then..

How long is a piece of string, both questions very hard to answer, I have seen a big bore XT's only do 1000kms before destroying the plating on the bore due to poor plating, I have seen big bore seize the small end pins at 3000kms, I have seen big bores do 7000kms then get piston slap, I have seen a big bore destroy its clutch within 200kms, I have seen big bores do over 10000kms with no problems, it all depends on what parts you use & the conditions the bike is ridden under, cheap parts don't last, longer piston skirts last longer, as you can see very hard to say how long yours would last.
All the above cases I have documented over time.
