any bike will last forever if well maintained. its simple. but the reason honda's are so reliable is cause they're so fuggin complicated to work on sometimes and usually defy every law of reason and logic. I know, i've owned 2 so far. If they needed constant maintenance people would end up rolling into dealerships and shooting up the place. granted they've gotten better, but damn... sometimes i wonder.

I agree... no matter what you do... a motorcycle will fail eventually... too many moving parts... no matter how often you change the oil... the motor will eventually wear out due to friction and heat/cooling cycles... BUT... I'd say that'd be well passed 1million miles if properly maintained.

Buddy. Pal. Ur talking to a honda fanboy. I agree with EVERYTHING you're saying. it just makes it much sweeter to rock the wings when, after you appease the other jap bikes, urs is the one still running like brand new.

U always pay for what u get. yes i said that correctly. kudo's if you know where i got it from.
