On average... when is a bike over-the-hill?

Most bikes will last a while, providing they haven't been thrashed by Trash

yeah, you need an option 100000 kilometres OR 1 Trashometre

I know of a Bandit that did 100,000 k's without any more than routine maintenance.
Look after them, they'll look after you.

Yup. I had a GPz 550 that did about 160,000 kms and it was still going stong - only the idiot that pulled out in front of me that brought to an ignominious (sp?) end.

I think it depends on the block design too. Sone of them are just bulletproof (hence me buying the RF this time around). It's a proven engine, understressed and good to go!

I told the guys at the shop I wasn't buying from them, but wanted to know about the RF motor... asked them when I could expect it to die - they told me not to hold my breath...

It's good to hear that when there is no sale on the line!

my '93 CBR250RR had about 95,000ks at the end of it's sad distruction. I had it from 81,000 and had it on Puke heaps of times, used every day to and from work and at the weekends and it just kept going. Make sure it's had regular oil changes, and those things are just little tanks.. Unfortunately for mine, it's outter bits aren't as strong as a tank.

Should last if it's been looked after well

sold my zxr250 at about 108000 to mini_me and he put another 40000 on top of that before selling it... Still going strong last time i checked
