Mileage question

[Handbanana]

So, I was wondering... What are high miles for 600 -1000cc motorcycles? What is their average life span if kept up on regular matinence?

I would expect out of my 99600Kat atleast 35,000 before a rebuild.
But i am not pro and wont own this bike that long. or I will have a Bandit1200 motor..

How about a more specific question? High miles for a Kat, high miles for an SS. From a selling standpoint, 6000 miles a year is considered average.

Ive read of one GSXR750 with somewhere in the neighborhood of 225,000 miles

The Kats will easily go 100,000 miles before needing or wanting to rebuild. That is unless you've done something to it that required a rebuild.

My 2001 turned 68,000 just a couple days ago. I expect to pass 100k miles by the time I'm able to put a new bike in the stable.

My 99' 600 Kat is just shy of 42,000 miles. It still runs like the day I bought it (4 years ago with 15k miles). Short of routine maintenance, I've not done much to it.

I just got my 99 kat 750 in march and it the guy before had done a bunch of maintenance at 25,000km. Not a rebuild though just carbs, plugs and primer and it runs amazing I've put 5,000km on it so far

Cool. Thanks everyone. I was just wondering what high miles were considered for mid sized to larger sport bikes. No specific reason just wondering if they are similar to cars, or being a smaller displacement if they had a longer life span. Now I know and knowing is half the battle
