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 dont think it would take me too long to put 100k on my bike honestly. Maybe 6 years. I bought it in July used with 750 miles on it and I'm already at 8,300. Its my daily when the weather's nice and I ride whenever I can in the winter. I think I average around 15k a year.

You also have to remember in a car you're not frequently launching from lights, pulling wheelies, and revving to 11k rpm
Um, I don't even do those things on my bike, much less my car :headshake: (insert long silence)... Ok, sometimes I do.

Dang man, I change my oil every 3 or 4k so that gives me comfort that mine should last around 111000k or more easy. And you've never even adjusted the valves?? Wow. What about plugs? How often have you changed them on the zx6r?
