At the annual meetings of the above mentioned 100.000 Km Club there are all brands of bikes that often have done well over 100k kms. Very interesting is a Yamaha TR-1, a bike that has been grossly underestimated when it first came on the market. One of the visitors regularly pitches up with his TR-1 having ca. 325k kms on the clock still with the first chain, running in a sealed chain case.
Of course many of the bikes at these meetings are Beemers, but that might be because the meetings are in Germany. But apart from that the visitors enjoy presenting their bikes, talking about their personal bike history etc. One guy has a Honda cbx (6-cyl) who has done more than 700k kms.
These meetings are rather laid back - no fanatics  who hate certain brands. All bikes are welcome - on the condition that it has done over 100k kms.
