Who has a bike they have done more than 100,000 miles, 160,000 Km on?
Just out of interest who out there has a bike they have done high mileage/Km on? As the title says more than 100,000 miles or 160,000 Km, has it been a good bike and would you still trust it to take you on a long trip?
I have three, a '79 Triumph T140 with 110,000 miles which I have had from new and have had to do a lot of work on to keep on the road and am not sure I would go too far on it.
Also '91 BMW R80GS bought new which has now done 172,000 miles, it has taken me many places including a trip to Australia, it has not had a lot done to it and I still use it every day and plan to take it on a long trip next year.
Finally a '83 BMW R80G/S with 170,000 miles on the clock, I bought this from the original owner who travelled around the world on it and sold it to me in a bit of a state with 120,000 miles on it and after a rebuild took me 20,000 miles across Africa without as much as a puncture. It is currently having a bit of an overhaul and I would happily take it on another long trip.
