Ride it, thrash it wring its neck and it'l beg for more!!
Mine uses about 500ml of oil every 4500 miles, so not a lot IMHO.
I've done over 18000 miles on it in 14 months and its still in great condition. I replaced a clutch cover,break fluid cover and brake lever thru corrosion, total cost, £40. The brake lever was under warranty, and the clutch and brake reservoir cover were cheap....as are many parts it seems
