A jap bike with 720000 Km's on the clock.

[ruaphu]

No Joke, This bike has just ticked over 720000KM's!!!!

It was posted elsewhere and thought other bikers would interested. Not often a Japper gets this mileage, usually the reserve of BMW's. This bike is located in japan.

The site is all in Japanese, but the pictures do it justice. Ya need to have a good poke about carefully to get the gist of the setup, worth it though.

Best of all it is the 'getting rare' and not often seen Honda CBR 750 with those magic gear driven cams, the RC27 motor, not the the common as cake clattery cam chained CBR 1000.

According to his website, his CBR history is as follows.

1989 Nov He bought the CBR with 3650km oddmeter reading. This CBR is second one for him. The first CBR was stolen.
2004 May 400,000km
2007 Jul 500,000km
2010 Aug 600,000km
2013 Feb 700,000km
2013 Jul 720,000km

So basically 100,000km / 3 years. It means 33333km/year. This means 2800km/month.

Is that on the original engine? Or is it like grandpas axe - had 2 new heads and 1 new handle over the years but its still "the same old axe".

Meh

I used to service a Suzuki GSX1100G with over 300k on the clock and that was a few years back now

Regular oil and Filter changes and servicing and that kind of mileage is easily achievable for most Jap bikes with relatively under stressed engines such as the CBR750(75hp anyone?) And big diesels like the GSX1100G and similar,such as the old Yamaha FJ models and also the old air cooled GPZ Kawasakis

Might have to keep my GSXR going...

Reading his service history few sets of brake discs and couple major engine overhauls, still impressive.

There was one such for sale locally, same colour scheme and all. It may still be for sale, he could use that article as a selling point.

meh I get that out of a set of 501's or shinko's.

In fact my 501's on the GB took 20,000 even with the occasional skid.

720,000km is a bit higher than 300,000km. I'll double-meh on your story lol.
