any other 100k riders out there?

That is to say 100k miles on one machine that you put all the miles on does not have to be from mile 0 but just curious.
I'm about to turn over the 6 figures and can't wait, i just put new tires on 3 weeks ago and i have been down to the dragon and back, along with 2000 other miles.

Nah, not yet. But I'm getting closer, 93,8xx miles on my Ninja 250. It'll be 94k shortly.

The closest I've gotten is 80K. I'm pushing 70K with the current one but I fear (hopefully) that I'll score a new (to me) bike before I get to the magical 100K.

Damn! Nice! I've got about 10k on the clock of the one I'm fixing up. Sure wouldn't mind if it went that long. Or my Kat (2 years, 3 months of ownership and 36000 miles. 4 years to go at this rate!).
Any tips on making a ninja last that long besides regular oil/filter changes and valve adjustments?

I should also mention that is 90something miles in a little over 5 years.

Will we see it in NC in July?

That's basically it, regular oil changes & keep on top of the valve adjustments. Unfortunately though, all those miles aren't on the original engine, I put a new/used engine back in December 2011 at 70k miles. I bought the bike in May 2006 with 8k miles on it, and now several years later I've got over 94k miles on it now.

Ahh, that'll do it. Still, that's pretty good for the original engine. Mine had 10k before grenading. "New" engine has about the same. Won't be racking up the miles as fast as you though, 2 bikes to split it between.

Working on bringing a Cali group with me next year. Trying to get the numbers together.
