50,000 miles 2 Years, 10 Months ago  
I rolled over 50,000 miles on my bike this past weekend. I have never had a bike that long before. I think she is good for another 50,000. She's running very strong.

A member of the RSR turned over 200,000 a month or so ago. Yup, yours will last for a while.

Fantastic....

I remember, as a kid, a buddy and I doing our best to kill a Honda dirt-bike. We put that thing through Hell... Never changed the oil, never changed a spark plug, never did a thing to it except put gas in it. That thing ran and ran and ran. It was amazing.

Nice, I turned 30,000 yesterday. I like hearing about those big mile bikes. All Ive done to mine so far is a valve adj. and fluid changes.

At 30,000 miles I had a trusted mechanic go over the bike and make any adjustments he deemed necessary, and my memory is that there were precious few. I have been pretty religious about oil changes, most often around 5,000 mile. Then, last winter, I got the dreaded "recall notice" and had that work done...it apparently came out all right (I was holding my breath)...I've put about 2,500 miles on it since then and it is running strong.

The thing that has cost me the most money is rear tires...I seem lucky to get 8,000 out of one. I am pretty certain that my enjoyment of acceleration may be part of the cause...ah well...I do love it.
