[QUOTE]Originally posted by SydeWaySix: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by cees87drop: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SydeWaySix: [qb] My boy bought a 97 F3 with over 70k miles! He got it from the original owner and had all maintenance documented in a little book. It was crazy! Bikes can definitely reach higher miles is well maintained. The reason why most people dont have this many miles on their bikes is because THEY CRASH AND TOTAL them first. My boy did that exact thing. Its a sad reality that most bikes are totaled before they're ready to go... [/qb][/QUOTE]+1... Don't listen to the people sayin bikes don't last long. I've been riding bikes for about 4 years now, and haven't seen one engine go out yet. I have seen a shit load of bikes totaled. Cluthes will go out and chains will break on high miled bikes, that is normal. On a side note, be ready to take a fall. It's gonna happen sooner or later. lol [/qb][/QUOTE]+1...they always say theres 2 types of riders: those who have went down and those who WILL go down. It's gonna happen, just pray its not a bad fall! Just to backup what i said about bikes with high miles, I've owned 9 bikes in the past 4 years or so. I kept buying and selling to try out all the japanese models and see which one I like best. I've had as old as an 1988 Ninja 500 to as new as a 2006 R6 and miles REALLY dont matter. Some of the bikes I've owned had a lot less miles than others and ran shittier. Its all in the maintenance and upkeep ;) When you check out bikes, bring someone who's been riding a while and have them test ride it for you. For people that have a lot of seat time, its fairly easy for them to "feel" if the bike is running well or not. Again, good luck on te hunt and dont skimp out on yourself...get a fule injected bike :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
