I've got 123,000 miles on my 1976 CB750F. I parked it in the shed when I purchased my 1998 VFR800 and it hasn't been started since, but I've recently started to clean it up. Maybe in a few months I'll change the oil, put fresh gas in it, and see if she'll start. I put a 636cc kit in it at 56,000 miles (I was young and foolish at the time), but the cylinders, pistons, and rings were all in spec at that time (I measured them all myself). Two exhaust cam lobes exhibited unusual wear at this time so I put a new, stock cam back in it...oh, and I've got 95,000 miles on the 1998 VFR800 (best bike I've ever owned, including CB1100).
