Those of us here with ST's are quietly chuckling. Although the ST and CB are different kinds of bikes built for different purposes, Expecting 100K from a well maintained CB is entirely reasonable.
My ST is over 105K miles. And, without a second thought, I am riding it to the west coast with stops at two rally's. I estimate I will put a bit over 5K miles on it before returning home. My CB, on the other hand, is ridden differently but I fully expect to get many happy miles from it.
Perhaps the fellow was confusing the fact they don't start running well until they have been "broken in" which (iMHO) doesn't happen until one nears the 10K mile mark.
'Broken' vs. 'Broke in'. It kinda sounds the same.
