This bike has gone around the clock!

Found this ad whilst looking for a possible racebike.

Ever heard of a bike going around the clock before?

I just figured it was written like that as I know with race bikes it's usually just written like that.......

To be clear, I realise heaps of bikes make it over 100km happy as. I thought it had done more than that however..........hence the thread.

And....................???? so it has

From the reply to the questions it looks like it has done 99999km (a hundred thousand), not 999999 ( a million) kilometres.
Have seen a few bikes now that have done a hundred thousand plus kays without rebuilds, although these have been touring bikes and not something like a GSXR.

100,000 kms in 14 years is no big deal - it's only 7,000 kms a year.

The problem is that the dork selling it has put the odo reading down as 999,999 km , which is basically 1 million km. He needs to have another look at the odo...

Edit: Cloogy beat me to it...

That's mainly because sports bikes tend to get crashed first.

My old man's VFR has done about 120,000 now and it's still fine. Just run in really.
I think a lot of bikers get really hung up about ks when the numbers are really still low. It can be hard to sell a sport bike that's done more the 40,000. Which is about 2 or 3 years use for me

I know of a CBR250RR thats done over 100,000kms... its owner didnt realise it at all

**robinm** · 9th May 2010, 20:37

There is a BMW K100 in Holland that has done 720,000kms. It is shown on this page http://k100rt.aforumfree.com/general...eage-t1074.htm

actually, his clock probably does say 999,999 and have only done 100,000. you have two digits for the tens of thousands and the thousands, three digits for the hundreds, tens and ones, and the final digit for the 100metres between kays.

e.g. 158268 on the odo is 6 digits. thats fifteen thousand, eight hundred and twenty six kilometres, and eight hundred metres

**tigertim20** · 10th May 2010, 01:33

i went to look at one for a friend, 118000 km on a cbr 250. far as i could tell, was the original engine

Yep, which is 99,999.9 km, not 999,999 km.
