Mileage
To all my Cane lovers..my bike has just gone over 90000Km...this bike is amazing in terms of reliability,just nothing wrong,on my last service we checked out the valvesand carbs and everything was shining as if it was wheeled out the shop..no work needed on both....still fires up on the first press on the starter without ever using the choke...suspension is showing no sag..all the electrics work.. everything internally is still soft...no oil topups needed..oil is still golden on every check..motor is silky smooth..life is good...how come no other manufactor makes there bikes to this standard..Im sure they take each other bikes apart...
Anyway how many miles can this thing still do with out any major work??
Im so afraid this will all come to an end someday..and Im loving this bike with every mile covered...1995 model by the way..

Yup... no doubt these early model CBR1000's are one bloody amazing piece of machinery..
At 94000 I go out side stick the key in her and bang ..up she fires just like she was new...
What gets me is when I hit the gas on open road ...she still would pull christ off the cross ...
talk about go !!!! She still feels like a bloody missile when she at full gallop...
I still get people that do not know the early model 1000CBR's ask me how old she is and when I tell them ...the look on their faces is so good.......there jaws drops and all most say is ...
"really..your bloody kidding!!"
Most non riders think she is relatively new
yup ..they are certainly one amazing ride...

Although your girl friend might not want to ask my misses about you turning out like me..
my misses thinks I am a bit bloody crazzy actually..... I go out side and run a dust cloth over my old girl at 11.00pm at night... just to touch her (my ride that is
)She keeps telling me , ..." 53 and you still ride and act like a dam wild child ??..."
hmmmm? I think she is complementing me , but some days... I wonder mate??
anyway ...
cheers to you my friend..
