Year and Mileage

Trigger76 · 2017-06-29 19:32:28

What you on ? What do you consider high mileage on various size bikes? I'm buying a bandit 600 soon, about 10 years, Im thinking 35,000 miles is probably low enough for the years?

1999 BMW R1100RT - bought last year 98,879 miles (159,130km) now at 108,240 miles (174,195km)

Plenty of life in the old dog yet. I had a Kawasaki GT750 in the past that clocked around 275,000 miles.

I'd be dubious but there's always the 'toy' factor with bikes like Ducatis, someone not short of a bob buys one on a whim pretty much to look nice in the garage.

Then again I've a a 1989 CG 125 with 7000 miles on it in my garage. Bought it for the same reason. Different budget though....
