Cylinder Plating?
#3
Back in the early 80's the 750's were getting close to 100,000 before a valve job was needed (if the owner did their part on maintenance). But few bikes reached those sort of numbers. GL1000's and GL1100's would and 125,000 miles seemed to be the common time frame for valve jobs. This is going back a ways so there may be a bit of rose coloured glasses effect.

On average; if you change the oil and filter often, ride conservatively for the most part, I bet this bike will out last you if you don't crash.

I feel the same for all the bikes out there. Pretty hard to find a stinker in the lot.
