Your bikes are used up after 10K miles!

[atadaskew]

The latest issue of Super Street Bike (May, p.67) remarks that at 10K miles a streetbike's engine is done.  That it's the equivalent to 100K on a car.  It's past peak.  They say "avoid the 10K mark like the plague."

Rats.  So I need to buy a new bike every few months?  

[gradus]

Damn, my car and bike are all used up.  Time to take the bus.

There was so much shit on that linked page I didn't know where to look.

I removed the website link as it is in the magazine, not on the site.

And I was told my bike was not properly broken in until it had 20,000 miles!  

[slvrsprint]

What a squidfest that site is.

That's what you say when buying a bike that has 20,000 on it.  Not when selling one.

I guess I've used up 17 engines worth in my 2 Triumphs so far.

Damn! everything I own is worn out. How my VFR or CBR made it to 50k is beyond me?? and I thought they were still running fine? Now my new to me CBR (9000mi.) and Adventure (9500mi.) are both going to have to be replaced  and I was just getting used to them......

I think we ought to thank them for providing us with cheap used bikes that squids think are done at 10,000 miles.

   great if you are buying, not so good for selling...

But why would you sell it at 10,000 miles? Heck that's only a month or two after buying it, not even a full season.

I don't buy bikes as an investment, or even think about resale when I purchase. I ride them into the ground

true, the lowest mileage bike I wver sold was a VTX1800. I hated it and still managed 12k before I traded it for a CBR

Same here. I've never owned a bike less than 10 years and 80k+. I guess that's why I've had so few bikes even though I've been riding for 30+ years.

Someone needs to tell Ed! Then be can send them a pic of hos odometer.

Who wrote that retarded mess?

You just don't know where to look.

Skip all the squid crap. Go straight to the girls.

Well sure when you sit at bike night and play Slayer throttle-riffs with your squiddly homies bouncing it off the rev limiter,
of course the motors are shot at 10k.

[Joey Stalin]

OP must be misquoting or omitting other parts of the story. Because otherwise it's too stupid to believe that they would actually print that.

This right here...

You guys are assuming a bike that's ridden normally and maintained with some semblance of regularity...the target audience of that magazine generally is only familiar with lowering their bikes and pegging the throttle WFO in neutral. .

[Giaka]

Dammit, I need all new bikes. Oh wait..............
