People will happily buy a car with 100,000 on the clock but anything over 50,000 on a bike and people get scared. But im not complaining means i can pick up a cheap bike that performs the same as any other

That's because cars last a lot longer than bikes. Bikes last about half to a third as long.Originally Posted by sil3ntwar

Only because they get wrapped around solid objects. No reason why a bike engine can not last as long as a cars engine.That's because cars last a lot longer than bikes. Bikes last about half to a third as long.

Yes, there is. Low RPM engines last longer than high RPM engines.
More revolutions = More wear

Yeah, but theres no reason a car cant do half a million kms, or even a million... with regular services and replacement parts etc, and im not talking about re-builds either!
Jam and tarts....
That is true. I generally say the engineering tolerances help. But as proof to low revving, low stress engines I have tidied up a 34 Hudson Terraplane sedan [flat back] that has done a doccumented 658000 miles. Very impressive, original motor too!!!!!!!
Alloy, stainless and Ti polishing.
Bling your bike out!

I guess its like everything its how you look after it you thrash a motor cold all the time it will take a a lot of life of it and depends how you treat it in general.
