As my zx14 crosses the 30k mark I am curious whether anyone has put 100k on a zx14. I thought that someone had 60k or 70k on this forum. The things I think of to avoid work. So who has the most miles out there?

Funny you ask this, I was just discussing this with my son-in-law last weekend. He said he had seen a video of a bike turning 200K and thought that was amazing, forget what it was. I imagine a mild rider ought to be able to make a 14 last as long as he wants. Unfortunately, we don't get enough ride time up here in the midwest to test mileage on bikes.

I know ninjamaster has over 50,000 on his. Over on bikeland, there's a guy with over 60k. One of the ZZR spec bikes over in the UK, guy says it's borrowed by staff members for all sorts of things - has over 100k. But I didn't find any evidence of that particular bike. The others, they posted a picture of their speedo. Here's some links:

The mileages quoted are not all that impressive when you compare it to the numbers in this article from an old Bike magazine. How does 252,000 from a 1996 ZZR1100, 410,000 from a 1998 Honda Blackbird, or an incredible 852,000 from a 1990 Honda VFR750 sound? Most impressive, though, is the rider: 2,000,000 and counting!!!

WOW! I thought I was doing good. I'm almost at 30,000 miles in less than 3 years. I fell, as long as you take care of the bike, the miles will keep on climbing! Ride on brothers!
