Do you use the MXT40 Motorcycle Oil OR the Mobil1 Full Syn. 10W40 car oil? I don't like the car oil because that type of oil has "seal conditioner", which swells up seals so they don't leak.

That's awesome though!
Honda isn't going to give him anything. The 200K is basically undocumented and uncontrolled running conditions. If they tore the engine apart, it wouldn't indicate anything concrete.

When I rolled 200k on my Pontiac Grand Prix I emailed GM and they sent me a license plate frame that said "Over 100,000 miles of Pontiac driving excitement"

It wasn't much but I thought it was pretty cool.

I'd have another but they don't make 'em manual tranny anymore.

Bullshit. Betcha they get major wood.

Uh....no. They don't care. They already have accelerated mileage testing, but on bikes who gets to 200k anyway? It isn't a selling feature.

You might get a license plate though.:lol Particle Man may just be right here....of course the plate frame may be for a car. hahaha

Well, there's only one fucking way to know...but I'm still betting he gets more than a license plate frame. 200K on a bike IS noteworthy.

Esp a sportbike, I can see on a goldwing or other touring bike but for a sportbike to get that far is impressive.
