My GSX-R600 is approaching 80,000km and still shows no sign of falling to bits. But then, I'm an ancient decrepit old grampaman who only uses it to go to church on Sundays...

A mechanic will also know exactly when to move a vehicle on - just before it's going to cost megabucks. Buyer beware.
Maybe your seller's OK but as other posters have mentioned, do your checks.
Moped rider
87k on an 86 Honda GB400. It's only been running proper bike oil in it the last 6k since I got it of my father. Prior to that he only put el cheapo Castrol 20/50 car oil in it. Gearbox, clutch and engine still all original. But the majority of k's were long distance rallies.
Forum whore
My 94 VFR's done 160,000 and might be run in by now. Still on its original discs, head bearing and only recently had its first new front wheel bearings and last needed valves checked some 10 years ago.

I flicked an 06 cbr600rr with 40,000 kms to red barron a few years back and they paid good money for it(wasn't a trade in), bike was serviced as per book and was still sweet like a sweet thing...58k at the right price will be a sweet bike
Hater of haters since 2012

Ha! My CBR600 '08 is running mint. Around the same k's. Always change the oil every 5k. Get the shop to check out the valve clearances when the manual says so. Nothing to report here touch wood!

I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....
Moblie chicane
There was a Hyosung GT250 on here a while back which had clocked close to or over 100'000kms I think, and that's a cheap Korean bike.
Friend of mine is on his 2nd CBR600 which he commutes on it Auckland, he only swapped out for the 2nd one as he was worried about resale value if he let the km's run too high.
His friend has a CBR1000 which is nearing the 100k mark too. Honda's are bullet proof
It's all in how they are looked after.
