As some of us our getting into high mileage on our CB's with several of us in the 100,000 mile range, how long do you think a CB engine can go before needing major repair?
The old benchmark for longevity/reliability used to be 100,000 miles (for cars and bikes), but now we are seeing cars and bikes with well over 200,000 miles. My record is 282,350 miles on my 91 Honda Accord and I traded it in with no known mechanical issues (on another Honda Accord)... and I put 110,000 miles on my Honda ST 1300 before a failure with the braking system encouraged me to sell, but there is a guy on the ST forum that just turned over 350,000 miles on his ST 1300.
