RE: High Milage ???
Narr , she runs very clean as a whistle, no smokin
yet?
As far as I know she is untouched , like a good woman
...
I am doing a cam chain and tensioner very soon myself as shes a little noisy at start up , like most of these older rides... ( she would not be a Honda if she did not rattle a little mate )
Although I cannot definatively prove that, as I cannot get hold of the original owner..
but the shop I bought her from said she was, as far as they could see, when they serviced her ... all original ...
I think good maintenance and not trying to kill them every time you go and ride them is the key to a long trouble free life ..
The difference between 8,500rpm and 10,500rpm every time you twist the throttle makes a huge difference in as far as how long they last ..
You can push your bike hard without tearing the insides out of her ...
A little luck too perhaps as far as how well it was put together at the factory .. helps..

All these people whom you see, hear, or talk to that think 20k miles is high, or worn out, or not worth the money are plain stupid. I have personally had 2bikes with over 80k miles. I sold them locally and know for a fact they are still on the road with over 100k. These motors are dang near as reliable as a car motor, if taken care of there is no reason they cant see 100k.
