Whats low/High mileage to you?

I have read a few times here people mentioning mileage on bikes. I know what the general public thinks, I worked in Dealerships for many years.

For me and all the bikes I have had over the past 30 years I would have to say anything under 40K miles is low and its just getting broke in. 

Since 87 I have had 9 bikes go over 100K, 5 of those went over 175K with only one with a cam that lost its lobes at 145K, 3 that went over 200K (my current bike just went over 200K on Friday) and 1 that went 285K.

All of these bikes ran when I gave them away except the 1989 GSXR750/1200. 

I usually only burn Arco gas, all my oil changes are with Shell Rotella Dino oil, valve adjustments happen when I have to raise the idle. I also run K&N filters dry.

I would say on an Air Cooled bike,  north of 100K is getting in high miles. 

Goldwing with 150K?  That's a new bike still.

YEAH, I think it really matters the bike.

My current bike is a Bandit 1200 that is air/oil cooled as was the bike that went 285K, All the others were Water Cooled.

I've owned 'Guzzis and water cooled Hondas.

Multiple hundreds of thousands of trouble free miles is the norm.
