RE: what is high milage?
I second that, too many bikes are bought and stored, never being ridden. Im not saying thrash them, but some of these bikes have next to no miles on. I do at least 10k a year on mine.
I have mentioned in another post about a mate of mine who owns an F4, and has 350,000+k miles on his bike. Now thats endurance!!

When you talk about high mileage on a bike it is because soo many people are fair weather riders. I understand that because of snow and conditions like that you can't always get ou, but there are the people who never take thier bikes out if it drops below 75 degrees.
With that being said high mileage on some bikes is around 30000 while others are 75000 and beyond. You can get tons of miles on your bike as long as you do the MAINTENANCE.
I am a mechaninc and I deal with this all the time. Wether on a bike or in a car people have this dream that all they have to do is put gas in it and go. If you want to keep your kid alive you take them to the doctor for regular visits don't you? Why wouldn't you do that with your bike. To me my bike is my baby.
Do the damn maintenance people. If you are local to me and don't know how, drop me a lin. I love working on bikes and would be more than happy to do it, if it will keep one more rider on the road.

i bought mine with a little over 7k on it in march or april of last year. it now has almost 14k on it. runs like a top!
a buddy of mine bought an 02 f4i with like 2k on it back in 03... he learned how to wheelie and endo on the bike... he beat the living crap outta it, riding on the highway in second gear hitting the limiter for miles at a time... on one wheel for miles... and rolling rev limiter burnouts all the time... he beat the **** outta it! but after 16k HARD miles... it finally blew a rod through the case... needless to say, he threw another engine in there!
