The CB1100 Community Forum

Ferret, I have no doubt in my mind I will die long before you.

I never thought I'd make 30 after losing my best mate aged 17.

I've kinda lived like every day were my last for a good many decades as a result.

You'll outlive me buddy.

ferret, don't be a pessimist. From that photo you and your son could be brothers! I just tell the girls I am 25 and have led a hard life

Back to the topic. "Last Blast", at 29000kms is barely run in. I agree with previous that if you keep the CB well maintained, particularly regular oil and filter changes, then the chances are you can hand it down as a true classic.

Cheers

as understressed as this motor is, 100k will be nothing

I've personally put over 100,000 miles on three different bikes.

1982 Yamaha 550 Maxim


2004 Honda Shadow 1100


2008 Suzuki V-Strom 650


I've got over 10,000 on my CB1100 and I see absolutely no reason why I shouldn't get well over 100,000 on it too.

Wow sanoak, i'm impressed!

That was also 3 different manufacturers. Incredible.

Very impressive Sanoke! Any of them give you any major trouble in those miles?

Agreed, very impressive.

Cheers

Nothing major. Couple of starters on the Maxim, a stator and fuel pump on the Shadow, a water pump on the V-Strom. Other than that, it was just normal maintenance stuff. I do oil changes and tuneups on a very regular basis and just ride them.

Thanks! I've had a lot more bikes than just those three but I have to say, nothing beats Japanese engineering in my book.

At least 8,854.

Lol, love it.

In fact I wish I'd thought of that.

Although 542 isn't quite as impressive on this particular thread.
