That's a lot of miles. I was doing the same miles or more on mine, (bike w/trailer) and found myself to be replacing tires on the bike VERY often, along with bearings, belt, and tires on the trailer. I got another bike from wearing my old one out.
Much like 5-7HEAVEN says, I'm going for 2 gas bikes for reliability. I'm building another bike now, and sticking with 4 stroke for the lack of oil mixing and better running and starting than a 2 stroke. For LOTS of miles, it's not good if you forget your mix oil with a 2-stroke. At least you can just pedal-and-fill with a 4 stroke if you run out of gas. 2 bikes gives you the ability to keep riding when one breaks.
I know legality may be an issue, so I'd choose a HondaGXH50 engine or similar 4-stroke over a 2-stroke 50cc any day.
