Riding hard, longevity

Riding hard, longevity
I have a 06 F4i, I ride it pretty hard, rev frequently, wheelie often..
I have 4100 miles on it so far... Put 2000 miles on it in a month. So far I have changed the oil every 1500 miles after break in period.
Just curious, how long I can expect out of the bike before the engine would need a rebuild. I will be doing all the proper maintenance.

RE: Riding hard, longevity
If you do all the maintanace there's no reason you would Ever need to rebuild anything on that bike. my friend bought a 2000 F4 with 12,000 miles on it back in 01. He is a stunter and has no car so it's also his daily and i do mean daily rider. 91,000 miles later and atleast 8 crashes one on the freeway at 80+MPH the Honda is still runing strong with daily wheelies over a few mile long streach of the freeway as well as him doing the slow stuff.
That quality is the reason I bought my F4i.

Because it's funny. That's why LOL.
I have 30K on my 02 GSX-R 1000 and it runs as good as the day I bought it. Track days at 7k and up for 30 minutes at a crack, wheelies, the odd drag strip pass, and daily commuting when the weather is nice and NO problems. My 99 900RR was no different.Sold it with 29K on it and it ran like a top. Same thing with regard to it's use. Change the oil every 5-7K with full synthetic, flush the coolant every so often and it ran great.
Bike motors are amazingly strong. The MAIN reason you dont see too many bikes with 30+K is because they get wadded up long before they get that high. A bike will make it that far easy if you simply take care of it and dont toss it down hard enough to render it unrebuildable. The motor is not the issue with miles, the rider is.
