That is the question. How many miles can/should the Z1000 last before the motor is shot? I know how careful you maintain it and ride it plays a factor. Those of you with first or second gens with a lot of miles, whats your mileage and what kind of major mechanical issues have you experienced as a result of all those miles? I bought my 2013 in July and was planning on selling it when I met a girl and got married, that hasnt happened yet, but now I'm thinking of keeping it forever! Or, as long it'll last. I've heard of some bikers having sport bikes for well over 100k and my thought is, why not more?? Like over 200k? Why would a 4 cylinder in a car last well over 200k but a bike's 4 banger not?? Any thoughts/experiences on this topic are welcome and wanted.

I was getting about 7k per year on my Z1000 but now I have a second bike so miles will drop off.
You also have to remember in a car you're not frequently launching from lights, pulling wheelies, and revving to 11k rpm.
Motorcycle engines take much more abuse than car engines do.
