How many bikes ever even get a chance to hit 200k? 100k? 99% of the bikes out there either dont hardly get ridden, just sit, get wrecked, or just replaced with something new.

Also, jared, pretty damn bad ass

I know several folks with old 'Wings at the half-million mile mark. Does that count?

Yeh I know a few that go that far too, but really for every new bike sold how many get wrecked and how many jsut sit? What does 1 out of every 200,000 bikes made make this kind of mileage.

And there is a huge difference between a goldwing and an f41

Huge difference is an understatement. Sad fact is that you're probably right: most either sit or get wrecked. That's too bad because I'll bet any number of Japanese sportbikes can rack up the miles.
