I have over 16,500 on my 05 and my friend has over 30,000 on his 04 and both bikes are still running like new. As long as the owner doesn't beat the piss out of the bike, it will last long.

 

[notcrashedtoday]

as you can see in my avatar, my 02 has over 50,000 miles on it when i sold it. yea i had some problems but over all it was a great bike. i miss that thing.

looks like i'm the winner so far :dance

My '03 will turn 40k miles in a few weeks, and no major problems. Cam chain tensioner is the only issue I've had.

how were the ergo's on that F2? I had a 98 F3 and man that bike could do everything.

 

[notcrashedtoday]

i also had a 98 f3. it was my first "real" sportbike. i was just learning how to ride at the time so i got no where close to pushing the limits on that bike. but i know that it sat upright compaired to the r6. nice bike though.

I'm new to the R6, but I met a guy at the Slimey Crud Run a while ago who was riding a ~1978 BMW. The bike had about 48,000 miles on it and about 35,000 when he bought it. He said he was at a rally and a guy recognized the bike and said, "Hey, I used to own that bike, did you know the odometer has turned twice on it?" The bike had about 250,000 miles on it and was still running strong and the old guy was kicking my a** in the twisties.

 

[SinisterR6]

Oh hell...I used to work with a captain who was featured in Sport Rider for breaking 100K on his '00 R1 and it still ran like the day he bought it...He wheelied that monster every chance he got too...Its all in how well and soundly you take care of your baby...

 

[Pipegod]

01 R6 5k, looks and rides new, never seen rain, just change the fluids!

 

[greentoyo2]

i feel like I have to hit it on my 06 r6 at least once during a ride, normally to about 15.5k rpm, normally i shift at about 7k, thats not abusing this bike right?

Its a 10 month old 06 r6 with 7126k, stock everything except loosing the flying alien, oh and untill last weekends ride, had a decent condition rear tire, now I need to replace it.

I do not ride aggresivally unless I am in the twisties, seen way way too many people tear their bikes up, and still have about 4 years of payments left.

i might be in the wrong (didnt read it all ) anyway i had a 01 with 45k on it ran like new still have pics somewhere? insurance co gave me $4500 for it when it got smashed. i bought the bike new , and just did the oil changes and it still ran and looked like new. i guess it would depend on who you buy the bike from , i would have a prob buying a bike from some people where the bike would only have 2k and others i would buy their bike with no probs if it had 50k on it, all depends on the situation.

 

[Xhaosis]

just hit 15 grand on mine, its running grand.. Its all about how you take care of your bike.. its an 2001 r6,

 

[Blue Vainer]

Hey I want to try to get the award for least amount of miles. I just picked up my second R6 last spring.. It's a 99 blue with only 7,500 original miles.... I think right now I have about 8,000 on it..... not to bad for an original 99

 

[Crispy]

I've posted this before. 99 R6 with original motor and transmission beat on at the track too may times to count but well maintained. This is an old pic. It now has 82,000 miles on it. Take care of it and it will last a very long time.

 

[Scooby]

good job crispy. all you gotta do is take care of your sh*t. i use to have a 5.0 back in high school days , changed the oil when due and took care of it , 175k and that was a ford. most people dont take care of their sh*t. i dated a girl once who didnt know anything about a oil change.

 

[R1RAMJET]

nice man!!!!! :handclap

how were the ergo's on that F2? I had a 98 F3 and man that bike could do everything.

Thanks the F2 was ok the seat slanted to the tank not so comfy.

It's all about the maintenance , most sportbikes don't get to live to a ripe old age as owners tend to kill them early .

 

[Klutchitup]

I had a Cbr 900rr. When i bought it, it had 14,000. After 2 years i put another 40,000 on her. When i sold her she had 44 and she still ran like a tank. All it takes is good maintenance.

 

[jaschil69]

I have an '01 R6 with 43K on it. Just coil replacement and regular maintenance. I bought it with 42K on it and the owner thought it was shot. Runs like new.
