Default Well I'm happy to say...my bike and I have made it to the 200,000 mile mark!

Yup yup.... as the title states, she rolled over 200k earlier tonight without even so much as a hiccup, and still rolling right along and running like a dream!

I started looking through all my old pics and got all sappy, so I decided to do something a little different this time instead of the quick rollover video and a few pics. So I made a video, and started from the beginning and posted some pics from along the way of our travels, and then the video of it rolling over at the end. Music is a little cheesy, I know, but hey I had to add something in there, and plus it just seemed to kinda fit the theme pretty well, lol

YouTube - 2004 CBR 600 F4i turning 200,000 miles + brief history


And I'll put a few pics up anyways...

Being that it was getting dark, it made for getting pics 'at the scene' nearly impossible. This is about the only one that even somewhat turned out

Keeping with tradition, I had to get the shot at 19 miles, lol. First pics I took of the bike and odo were at 19, so I stopped and took one again at 19 after it turned 100k

As for the bike... it's still running like an absolute dream! Still ridden daily, never gives me a lick of trouble. As long as she keeps running good, I'll keep riding her.... still curious as to just how far she'll go!

Rock the hell on, man! Congratulations!
I was waiting for it, and I figured it would be coming up soon the way you were racking on her. Awesome story and vid, too.
How about a custom user title? What would you like? Ironmang?
Whatever you want, it's yours.

That's fantastic, congratulations!!! Do you do your own maintenance ? Now my wifes 50k on her bike and 40k on mine seem so insignificant. Well, it's nice to know we can keep these for a long time. Since you get around so much, let me know when you're heading down FL way again.

That is absolutely awesome, Jared! When I traded my '01 f4i the guys at the dealership were astounded that I had 70,000+ miles and she was still running like a top. Aside from tires, chains, filters and such have you had to do anything special to achieve those miles? How many valve adjustments in that time? You should contact Honda's corporate offices and set up some kind of advertising gig. I'm sure there aren't many sport bikes around with that much "experience". I'm inspired now to see how many miles I can get from my '06 f4i. 50,000 and counting!
