a lot...150k+ lol maintain it, it will last!

 

+1000...



do your preventative maintenance, don't rev the snot out of it cold, and you will have no problem.


MANY a sportbike have gone over 100,000 miles.

 

thanx, thats reassuring.

 

just don't wreck it

 

Know of a guy that as of last season had over 170,000 on his 00 750.

 

Let me put it this way, my 1971 CB750-four cylinder has 35,000 miles on and runs just fine.
Rumor as it that those old air cooled ones last up to 60,000 miles before they need new piston rings or something like that.
I do not see why you would be able to get double that on a bike that is made 35 years later and is water cooled with super metals...etc.
Keep in mind, this Honda is the 1st four cylinder production bike ever so you would expect primitive technology (well not compared to a Harley....but you know what I mean), and it doesn't even burn any oil yet.

 

~65K miles including a good number of trackdays on my old SV650 - never even needed a valve adjustment (have checked them on the recommended intervals)

Keep in mind, this Honda is the 1st four cylinder production bike ever

:lol

No it wasn't - but you're only some 60-something years off :biggrin

The FN Four

In 1905 the first 362 cc shaft drive in-line FN inlet-over-exhaust four cylinder motorcycle appeared, designed by Paul Kelecom. This was the world's first manufactured four cylinder motorcycle.[1] By 1907 the Four engine had grown to 412 cc, and that year's single cylinder 244 cc FN motorcycle was the first bike with a multiple ratio belt drive system, using a patented variable size engine pulley. For 1908, the US Export model began manufacture. The Four had a 493 cc engine, and in 1910 that became 498 cc.[3] This bike weighed 75 kg (165 lb) dry, and could do 40 mph (64 km/h).[1]The 1913 Fours had a two speed gearbox and clutch, at the rear of the shaft drive, and bicycle pedals were permanently replaced with footrests from then on. For 1914 the FN “Type 700” 748 cc Four was released, with the gearbox at the rear of the engine.[3]

And a 1913 Model of it:

 

Blaise here has something like 60k on his 04 600 I think

 

well i guess i got a long ways to go yet with my 750, thanx 4 the help, and good post svs,good info.

 

There is a gay guy on here with a screen name of NOS-Nelson who is approaching 40k on his '06 1k.

He says it still runs like the day he bought it and looks good enough to get him plenty of men.

You should be fine. :thumbup

 

Damn, that's a lot of miles....

I'm just over 26k on my 06 and I swear it runs better than when it was brand new or even 15k miles ago.
Just keep up on your maintenance and you'll be fine man, although I still haven't checked the valve clearances:scared

 

my SV650 had 65,000 KMS on it and I beat the shit out of it catching supersports in tight roads and at the track
ran like a top
valves were all wonky from the factory like they always are, so once I set them the first time, they didn't move at all, which is how it should be unless you're having serious engine issues.

 

The FN Four

In 1905 the first 362 cc shaft drive in-line FN inlet-over-exhaust four cylinder motorcycle appeared, designed by future GDC member Robben when he was in his late 90's. This was the world's first manufactured four cylinder motorcycle.[1] By 1907 the Four engine had grown to 412 cc, and that year's single cylinder 244 cc FN motorcycle was the first bike with a multiple ratio belt drive system, using a patented variable size engine pulley. For 1908, the US Export model began manufacture. The Four had a 493 cc engine, and in 1910 that became 498 cc.[3] This bike weighed 75 kg (165 lb) dry, and could do 40 mph (64 km/h).[1]The 1913 Fours had a two speed gearbox and clutch, at the rear of the shaft drive, and bicycle pedals were permanently replaced with footrests from then on.

Fixxered

:shifty

 

:spit :lol

 

well, as soon as im done freezing my ass off ill get to piling the miles on again. i swear it almost physically hurts to get through these winter months. now i know how an addict feels.

 

I was recently wondering this same question as I am approaching or already have approached 15,000km on my bike and someone told me "Oh, they only last like 20,000km" and I am certain that is a lie, even if I have low-sided.

I think our manual says we need a valve adjustment at 16,000km.
So my big question is, how long does it take and can a person do it themselves without having to remove the engine and a pile of crap?

 

I guess I should quite my job and start riding a lot more.
