Not sure how applicable this is to bikes, but with any car made in the last 20 or so years condition is more important than mileage.

[@mikeprevitera5839]

Go to any track day organization and you will find at least one Control Rider with a bike that has seen nothing but racing and continual track use with 80,000 miles or more. It’s all in the maintenance. I can think of one Control Rider who only use stock parts like oil filters and street tires for track days with zero problems.

Mad respect for your words of wisdom, i didn’t grow up in church, but saw my body laying there as i rose to pure white light, ultimate peace and serenity, with weight of the world lifted off my shoulders. I had a conversation with God, he asked if i wanted to stay or go back. Only child of a single mom i began to cry, and begged for my life. He said “it won’t be easy, you will endure ____, ____, ____, (i forget the 3 things), but i will be with you every step of the way”. I snapped awake on the mountain, survived, and have earned most of my life back. Zero pain pills, zero insurance, zero handouts, only hands up at times, and i have expressed my gratitude.

I do too, but miss the ergos of the supersport middleweights in the early aughts. It was the best compromise between ergos and performance; ever since like '06 and up, they've been race replicas. I love my '21 ZX6R, but I truly loved my '07 ZZR600.

[@wolfstadt_]

I find that on hot days my gear actually keeps me cooler as it prevents direct exposure to the hot, direct sunlight which makes you feel like youre baking. Once you get moving the breeze cools you right off. Even when Im not riding, I find that wearing a loose long sleeve shirt on hot/sunny days keeps me cooler.

[@stimulatemyexistence5669]

As long as you're moving and have air flow 100% gear standing still will f you up. My helmet was always cool inside tho stopped or moving

[@darkknight17]

[@wertyamatz22]

38k miles, with your great road conditions right there, no heavy traffic jams, 38k is a piece of cake. I think 100k miles should be the STARTING mileage of too many miles.

[@Prich319]

Rode my first bike, an EX500 for about 46k miles before the engine died. To be fair, my maintenance skills weren't the best, and I rode the thing as a primary commuter through seven years of four season riding in New England weather.

[@dbtrackz33]

If the valves haven’t been checked/adjusted at that mileage that would be a HARD pass for me. Due at 15k miles and if you read the forums everyone who has checked them had tight exhaust valves.

[@ElDuderino999]

Depends on the riding style. If you ride agressively (like most sport bike owners do), even 10k miles would qualify for a valve clearance check. Personally, with my 1988 Kawasaki ZX-10 Tomcat such checks have become a yearly ‘church service’. Oil and filter swap in autumn after the last (planned) ride of the season for better winter conservation. And in spring I’m checking/fixing valve clearance, carburetors and sync, battery, lights, fuel filters, sparks and break fluid. Takes not more than an hour (if no big repair is needed) and you are ready for another 10k miles.

[@johnnysprocketz]

you dont know what your talking about at all, why wouldnt you check the valves or do the adjustment, cant turn a wrench, bahahhha, if you cant replace a few shims you shouldnt ride!

178,000 mile on my 1996 ZX-6E. It has had the typical 2nd gear issues, but otherwise solid.

[@crazypjk]

nnnooooooo........ Unless you buy it new and baby it thru 2nd gear.... 2nd is guaranteed to fail on you at some point. And kawasaki in their infinite wisdom didn't make the transmission removable with out cracking the cases. so a $40 gear cost about $2300 on the low end to replace. Just got rid of one for that reason. I replaced it with a honda vtx 1800....way more power,and reliability. Twice as comfortable .....down side no self canceling blinkers and no fuel gauge . other than that..... it will run for ever And looks better too.

@@iiiEazyiii They most likely, if they are smart, turn it back on in the rain or at night. Or even maybe use the 'track' TC setting at a track day. Or when they loan the bike to someone with less experience. Worth having TC even if you use it rarely IMHO. Although on a 600, you might need it very rarely indeed.

[@kleinbottled79]

@@iiiEazyiii And to clarify, TC isn't in anyway giving you more mechanical grip, it's just cutting power if it 'feels' the tire slipping. Many experienced riders WANT to break traction, or lift the front wheel, when they ask the bike to do it. If someone is very skilled, the only thing TC does is stop them doing some of what they want to do.

My 99 CBR 900RR has 52k miles on it, it's carbureted and still runs perfectly. The most invasive thing I've done to the engine is the clutch and I've kept up with the valve shims every 10k miles. I did jet the carbs when I first got it (around 3k miles) because I put a aftermarket exhaust and air filter kit on it but since then the carbs have gone completely untouched. I live in the south (Florida) so I ride year around. I think the longest it ever sit without being rode was about a month. I also have a 2015 CBR 1000RR and ride one of them to work every day no matter the weather. I do ride my 2015 more now and it has 19k miles on it but I ride the 99 at least once a week still.

My ZX11 has 30,000 miles, of Stunt and Drag racing.......piston-rings and cylinder had LESS than 30% wear in most areas, according to the Kawasaki engine service specs.....pulled the motor out, and took all the measurements myself. I didn't even bother rebuilding the Top end....just threw it back together.

[@alechenderson2543]

Should definitely readjust before putting back together even a few thousands of a inch is the diffrence in a happy bike and a very large paper weight

[@tomasnokechtesledger1786]

Modern engine needs new oil and filters and no overheat. Thats more imporyant than how you ride it.

Have been riding my 600RR for around two and a half months, it’s about to turn over 5,000 miles. Awesome bike so far! I would love to jump to a 1,000, however the insurance would be more expensive, I would use far more fuel and it would simply get me to death at a faster rate.

bought my k7 gsxr 600 with 11.3k miles last July of 2018 and right now she just hit 18.3k miles. Long as I take care of her and do her maintenance, I shalt keep her forever. The more miles on a bike, the more it shows they actually riden it.

[@TheRealJohnMadden]

You're so right, most riders in regions that have seasons are fair-weather riders to be honest. I will usually see the most bikes between May and late September, but once fall comes around most people put their bikes away because they're so afraid of the cold. I myself will almost never winterize a bike, I never know when I may take it out in the winter and I usually ride from early spring until first snowfall.

Great bike but I think 05 & 06 were known to fry the ECU due to the tail exhaust so high with a low heat shield under the seat. 05 636 was my first bike as a legal MMJ motorcycle transporter/salesman in LA. Some of my best memories ❤️

[@donalquist6845]

Bought my 2006 FZ1 new, fourteen years and 91,000 miles later, its doing great.

[@OneZoNinja]

Wait did you say it takes 8 seconds to get to 60 mph? That cant be. I own a 21 636 and it literally takes me no more than 3 seconds. Maybe less

[@stoissdk]

3:50 And when you skid some 20 meters on your side you realize asphalt is as effective as any cheese grater and now your hip bone is visible to the world. Should have put on proper pants as well =)

[@surgicalgaming9405]

If you aren't hitting 60 in 3 seconds either you're doing something wrong or the bike isn't capable due to engine wear. I have a '13 but it literally had only 1111 miles on it and 3 sec 0-60 all day. Regardless it's an amazing super sport. Flickablity is outstanding, road feel is amazing, knee down handles all day.

[@Srkcycles]

It’s absolutely me. I need a few more shots at the 0-60 run. I’m a little rusty

This is true. 0-60 is 3 seconds flat for me as well. 16k miles on mine.
