No guarantees but based on the bike's history and build quality, you take good care of it, it should last a very long time. Even if the engine does need an overhaul at some point, that's to be expected. And it's easy to work on if it does. Frame, forks, swingarm, brakes, wheels, and other components are very rugged and should last indefinitely, barring accidents or corrosion/rust damage from being outside.
My "86" 600 Ninja had 35K miles when I sold it
My "86 900 had 65K miles on it when I heard a knocking sound in it and swapped out the engine with one less than 700 miles on it.
The Ninja's had hundreds if not thousand of red line shifts.
So am thinking if I ride my CB1100 like a 50+ yr old gentleman that I can be, maybe it will go 75 to 100K miles?
No need to baby this bike, either.
Oh, and quit fibbing to your wife!
