My car just clocked up this milestone today.
However it it still looks and runs perfectly, as do most cars at this mileage now.
Is 250,000 the ‘new’ 100,000 and what is the equivalent on a motorbike? 50,000??
November 13, 2012 at 5:25 pm #64667imperialdataKeymasterI think it depends on the state of tune of the bike. It’s certainly not unusual for cars to do > 250k miles these days.

My FZ600, aka ‘Baby6’ had 57,000 on it when I sold in 09. The lad still has it, but it has barely turned a wheel since

Even if a bike did get up that high as long as you notice any unusual vibration or whatever before it goes bang, just rip it apart and fiddle inside. Bearings, seals, shells and piston rings, maybe shims and jobs a peach
February 23, 2013 at 1:14 am #64671RadarModeratorI have ridden a bike with 108,000 miles on it back when I was a courier during 1985. It was a 1979 CX500 and I have to say the Honda was absolutely knackered!

Welcome back Sneaky, long time no see! 130,000 miles is impressive, what needs fixing?
