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.

Theoretically it could last for 200k. But you don't usually see those kinds of mileage numbers on performance oriented motors/vehicles because of abuse.
Not only that but tolerances are typically tighter and more stress is on everything. I've taken cars to 290k but they were my daily drivers.
You say forever but let's be honest, you probably won't have this bike at 200k. I don't believe there is any magic number that any engine last to. This bike being no different.
