I remember seeing this a while back as well....Can't remember who though! On a side note, my buddy just rolled 60,000 on his 2005 Gsxr 750. No valve job done yet either!

that's awesome! on occasion i see a certain make model of note and figure it would be an idea to post this so if anyone has questions about a certain bike you could use it as a reference point, and might even be able to contact the owner to ask questions about what maintenance they did in order for them to achieve it. recall there's a couple FZ1's out there with very high miles

i assume most bikes either get trashed or other components brake down first, before the engine really needs major work. makes me wonder why we don't see these almost bullet proof engines end up in other vehicles as "frankenstein projects"

is it "therook" that has high mileage? Was thinking that for some reason.

I have almost 23,000 on mine and it will be 24 months old July 24th.

thats crazy. thanks for the link

 

[Roaddawg]

60k!! I missed that thread. I just rolled over 30K and I thought that was a lot for an FZ6R. I still have yet to do the valve adjustment or throttle sync, but I've been religious with everything else. And, it's still running great!

Yeah, rookie has beat me by a bit, but if I understood, I should catch him as he no longer commutes 100 something miles any more... I should be at 44k this weekend

True... I went from commuting 150mi/day to 44mi/day. So happy I don't have to spend as much money on maintenance or worry about exploding the engine (not literally) with all the abuse, haha

thats good and bad. less ear and tear and maintenance but that also = less riding time.

commuting is not the best riding out there, it is truly just wear and tear, plus the battle with others who are commuting...

I'd much rather have a 5 mile commute so I could spend more time with the family and/or riding instead of sitting idle, in traffic, for anywhere from 40 minutes to over an hour.

Exactly! Specially in 108 degree weather.

Maybe there is something wrong with me, but I'm getting used to 105+ degree days; it doesn't seem all that hot to me. The problem is... anytime the temp gets below 70, I'm cold.

Have any other of you "Desert Dwellers" experienced this??

Haha... the heat isn't that bad as long as I'm moving, but when I slow down I can start to feel my pants stick to my legs and it becomes irritating. As for the cold... went to Cali a couple weeks ago and they had a high of 80 degrees... I wore a sweatshirt the entire time while my family was complaining about how hot it felt, lol. The desert does this to ya.
