Is 15,000 miles alot for a 234cc 1985 motorcycle. How many miles can a bike engine last with out major repair? How long is a piece of string... service history, how hard it was ridden,how good the oil in the motor was/is.. all these things affect the life of a motor...was it stored in a garage.......or under the tree in the back yard.. if the bike looks reasonably good for its age...then it will probably do 100,000 miles if its looked after... then again...My CB175 honda blew up after 20,000 miles...(I rode it hard & was doing about 80 MPH at the time) I did learn from the experience.....I bought a bigger bike....they handle hard acceleration & high speed better.... Source(s): 35 years riding & counting the older I get the faster I was...lol Have a freind with a 1969 1/2 BMW that has over 100,000 mi with 0 engine/trany work That's about 700 miles a year. I would actually feel better about this cycle if it had more miles on it. I has spent a lot of time sitting. and that is bad. If this was one year's riding, I'd say that it was nicely broke in. But in 22 years, things tend to rust and gum up i had a wide glide with 87000 miles on it and never did more than change the oil and filters It depends on the make of the motorcycle. For a Japanese bike, 15,000 miles is not a lot. If the oil was regularly changed and the motor wasn't abused, you can expect 30,000 or more miles before a rebuild. Remember that bike riding is not like car driving. It is quite a feat to drive 15,000 miles on a bike. A lot of people only ride 2,000 miles per year. The hardcore riders may ride 10,000 miles or more, but this is rare. Unless there are any obvious problems with the engine, the bike you describe probably has a lot of life left in it. http://www.bikercell.com |
