socket Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Seen on Ebay fr. 1998 BMW850R , with 248,000 km (155,000 miles ) on the clock. Now , some may say its witness to the quality of the mark , others like me, may say that more realistically its a credit to the owner who has kept his beloved heap on the road for so long . I would imagine by now he can strip and rebuild that motor before lunch time . I now await the full onslaught of the pipe and slipper brigade .

f1steveuk Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I can't say I'm that impressed. I did 98,000 on my FJ1200, from new. Gone are the days of the CBX1000, which would get to 12,000 and detonate!There are some BMW's in London, used by couriers with huge huge huge mileage, it's just a case of preventive maintainance.My Volvo 850 did 257,000 miles (which is considered low for the model) and there is a healthy 250,000 mile club for certain Lexus models with one having done 500,000.Bikes don't have to be thrashed, but your right, can't see a Yam 350 LDC doing over 12,000!!!
