Check out this R1, that's why I'm faithful to my Yamaha.(not a flame on any other brands, just stating that I like my Yamaha.):)

Nah, I don't think it'll turn into that. I wasn't trying to say any bike is better than another, just simply showing that sportbikes aren't toast after 20,000 miles. I personally always thought that a Sportbike with 30+k were trashed. But 100,000 miles on a bike! Pretty impressive.

youre right justin, really i think owner maintenece has to do a lot with it, i owned a harley, it was a 74 model, i lost it in 95, due to bad luck & bankruptcy, but it still had the original bottom end, the jug's had been rebuilt & bored but i babied that bike, but rode it hard too, no way it compared to a sport bike , but, im sure some s. o. b. is riding it now, i dont choose or make any difference between any bike, they are all fun, cya.;) :D :D

Wow thats amazing, that guy must travel all over with that bike. I think if I had a bike I'd go for some long cruises. Like I would ride it up and down coasts and maybe do a tour of a few states and provinces. :D Too bad I'm afraid to drive a bike but I'm sure if I'm given the oppurtunity I would take it and love it.
