I am looking at used motorcycles Suzuki GSX 600 or a Yamaha F6, how many
miles if taken care of will these bikes last? Usually a car you can say
150000 miles or more. Thanks in advance.

I just like to think about it like this: how many sportbikes do you see with more than 30k miles? I can only think of one....

Plenty, including my own @ 33K & barely 2 years old Sport Tourer. Friends with a 9R (50K) & GSXR 1000 (30K). They also recently sold their Honda's VFR 58K and VTR @45K. Mike, AZ929RR's got nearly 30K in just two years as well.

My 7R has 21k and still runs perfect (knocking on wood). She's gotten regular maintenance, but hasn't been babied. From 2001 until about a month ago she was a racebike. After that statement, however, I'm going to start hunting down a spare engine to rebuild and have sitting around Steve 95 Buell S2 96 Kawasaki ZX7R<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: How many miles will a sportbike last?
