Milage on Motorcycles...

[Fazerider]

The majority of owners get bikes for the pose value. The marketplace is well stocked with machines that have spent more hours being washed and polished than ridden, as a result anything that's covered more than about 3000 miles a year is regarded as high mileage.
But, aside from resale value, there's not much reason to avoid bikes that are over 40k provided it's been looked after and had regular oil changes and doesn't have a bad reputation.
For example, I expect to get at least 90k from an FZS600 engine before it needs more attention than I can be bothered with (i.e. cam chain & guide replacement).

... I am of the view that most modern (certainly with regards to Japanese) bikes are fully capable of going round the clock if properly maintained...

You do know the clock on our bikes is million-mile one?  :lol
