The other shim under bucket bikes that I had, had much longer valve inspection intervals and that was more livable while racking up mileage figures.. The Speed Triple that I sold to get the CB1100 was just past it's 12,000 mile valve inspection time. I told the buyer about that and gave him a cheaper price because of it (he loves serious home wrenching so it was not an issue for him !).

I understand where you are coming from. The valve inspection interval on my 125 hp, 14,000 rpm FZ-1 was every 26,000 miles. Why the huge difference? Oh well, it is what it is.

At my current rate of racking up miles it looks like a set of tires and a valve inspection after every riding season.
