[[sr20]sean]

im looking to get a bike soon and not so familliar with whats considered high mileage and what isnt. i know the engines are smaller and rev higher so i know they wouldnt last like 100k+ like a car engine would. just wanted to know so i dont buy a bike when its near the end of its engine life lol

thanks for any help:mrgreen:

25k on a crotch rocket is what i consider "high mileage" but it varies... it all depends on how the bike was maintained

[420sx]

Yeah, I usually consider 20k high miles.

Not like mileage matters on a bike. I saw scooters and bikes in Europe with 80,000kms on them. (Saw a Ducati that was about to roll over the odometer)

my one buddy has like 40,000 miles on his mid 90s cbr iirc and another friend has like 30,000 on his late 90s zx6. So i figure, as long as the bike is well maintained it should be fine...

i saw a hayabusa turning over 100k on the original stock motor. some people actually use bikes as every day transportation LOL

high mileage to me is about 25k just like was mentioned

my bike would be like transportation in the spring/summer/fall when its warm enough to ride

i had a 93 cbr 600 f2, when i sold it it had 44,000 on it, still ran great, all i really had to do other than normal wear n tear stuff was replace the cam chain tensioner with a manual one

[frosti108]

^^ yea on my katana its recommended to just change a spring out inside the tensioner. im gonna knock it out along with setting the valves sometime this week. coming on 24k soon
