I have 50k ham-fisted miles on my F2 and it''s right as rain.Keep the front wheel on the ground,watch your valves and use good filters.

My 1997 F3 has 38k miles, which is, let''s see, x8/5 = 60,800 km. Poor thing only had 21k when I bought it a little over 2 years ago, so it really wasn''t ridden much till I got it.

The engine should be good for 200k km. Things like bearings, etc. will wear out and need replacing over the life of a bike, but if you keep up on that stuff you can pretty much keep it on the road as long as you want.

I''ve heard of a guy on an 06(I think) F4i with by now probably close to 160-190K miles on his with no problems. My 87 has 41k miles on it right now with just a need for valve adjustment, and some minor service work really for it to be ideal.

Really, if you keep both wheels on teh ground, the valves adjusted right, and your oil changed with good filters and oil on schedule, it''ll go for a VERY VERY long time. Just look at the guys on the Kawasaki ZG1000''s with like 300 and 500K on them, routine maintenance is the key.

There''s no way a 600cc engine will go anywhere near 100k miles.

Agreed, maintaining and not beating the crap out of it is key to making almost anything last.
