This is why I laugh when people say 25k-30k is a lot of miles for a bike, I’m pretty sure when I sold my GSXR it had like 38K on it and ran great.

It’s not a lot if the bike was well maintained and taken care of.  
Most sport bikes are thrashed before they hit 20k, if they survive that long without crashing.

Werent you the one worried about “physical engine wear” being too high by 20k+ miles?

But yeah most sport bikes die before they get anywhere near high miles and when most people average about 3k miles a year it takes a while to get there too.

Unless the owner has records of all maintenance done and he is an older guy/gal I am going to assume that those 20k miles were not easy on the motor - “engine wear”. Simply don’t want to chance it and then end up having to repair/replace/tune things instead of just hopping on and riding like I am doing now.

20,000 thrashed miles is a lot for a sportbike and that’s all 90% of them will ever see.

Do explain how “hard miles” effect the bike/motor differently than cruising. Actual examples instead of generics and stunting doesn’t count.

Pretty sure it was just a head gasket, but sold it before I found out. I beat ths SHIT out of that bike. I think it saw more rev limiter than idle.

This is so true and hilarious at the same time coming from you because I know I’ve got remnants of one extremely low mileage kawi sitting in the shop here 🤣rofl

And here I thought you would actually chime in with technical mumbo jumbo of thermal dynamics, friction coefficients and rotational mass inversely proportional to the load applied by the resistance of the weight of the vehicle.

Or something :lol
