My '00 GSXR-750:


crossed this milestone today:


200k miles and still running strong.
And people wonder why all my bikes are Suzuki's.

Very cool. What kind of maintinence have you had to do to make it that far? Anything particularly major or expensive?

[johne]

Wow...that's crazy mileage. Congrats on that milestone. Makes me feel bad that I only have 43000 on my 93 750 and I thought that was fairly high miles.

Nothing special concerning maintenance; just very religious about oil changes. And I only use Motul 300V 10-40 full synthetic.

But it does have a couple expensive parts that fail regularly.
I'm not including items such as chains, sprockets, wheel bearings, my fat a$$ wearing out stock fork springs, or self inflicted damaged such as road debris poking a hole in the radiator.

1) It's on it's 4th stator. -- they cost about $150 each -- first one was under warranty; hence free.
2) It's on it's 3rd STV actuator. -- they cost about $450 each.
3) AND it has a (free to me) replacement frame. Because a jackass backed into it in a parking lot and cracked the original frame.

Congrats on the GSXR's first 200k!  That's amazing!

[Tar Snake]

 

Amazing! That's 22222 miles per year for nine years!

[Tony T]

So I take it you like the bike.  

Nice to see that kind of mileage.

Actually that was 28500 miles per year for 7 years.  
(I've slacked off since then. 2008 = new job = no vacation and shorter commute. 2009 = unemployed.)

Now it is.

 That is impressive. I will be showing this thread to some of the Harley boys that like to dress like pirates.

[chimera]

Wow.   I am ashamed by my desire to replace bikes before 20K miles.....I could be adding a zero......

So you think you got your moneys worth?

Wow!  Those are 'miles' not kilometres!    

I am impressed.  Just completed trip #5 to BC, back and forth, and have only 91,000+ kilometres.

Do you have a long commute to work?  

I ask because the only person I know with high 'mileage' uses his bike as his daily commuter, from outside of the city.

I've had multiple commutes with this bike:

'00 through '02 = 65 miles each way; from Califon, NJ into midtown Manhattan NYC.
(Almost all interstate and city driving. A lot of lane splitting and filtering in NYC and at Hudson river crossings.)
(For a while after 9/11; only motorcycles were allowed in downtown NYC and through the Holland Tunnel.)

'03 through '06 = 45 miles each way; from Califon, NJ to Princeton NJ.
(All two lane roads that I have known all my life.)

'06 through '07 = ~95 miles each way; from Allentown, PA to Princeton NJ.
(This was the most enjoyable commute; all two lane back roads for at least 3 hours; but usually closer to 4 hours; per day. )
(On very rare occasions I had to work in Manhattan. I-78 the whole way. Boring ; and very cold during the winter. )


'07 through '08 = 55 miles each way; from Allentown, PA to Horsham, PA.
'09 = no commute = unemployed.

CONGRATS on making the 200k milestone.

Suzuki reliability is the reason my 5th Suzuki (SV-650s) is in the garage..

[JoelCool]

Congratulations!  That's awesome.  Ya don't see that very often.

[Black Ice]

Congratulations!  That's awesome.  Ya don't see that very often.

I want him to bring it into a shop so I can watch the mechanics' heads explode.
